FIRE AT MOROCCO.

Xerdome and Handstand Go l'p i n Smoke. Morocco had a fire Saturday night but good fortune stood by and saved the town from destruction. The moving* picture show at the aerdome had j ust concluded and the crowd had mostly got out on the street when the cry of fire was sounded. The bandstand, w hich forms part'of the front entrance, and the walls and equipment of the aerdome were quickly reduced to ashes. The aerdome was located between two high brick buildings and the fire was easily controlled. Had the wind been in the south, where it could have played directly upon the flames, the entire business district would have been endangered. Morocco has no waterworks and fighting fires is carried on at a disadvantage.—Kentland Enterprise.
