Mr. McNamara • -was educated as a Methodist preacher and served sever¬ al years in that denomination and In lis evangelistic work, tor which he seems eminently gifted. He ia a large man, with a powerful voice, an eloquent delivery and Is a force in the pulpit and an active evangelistic worker.

The origin of the Iilaze points to in- ccndiiirism. Ross Gerhart states
that shortly after 12 he came home with a team, and as he wus eating il hot lunch bi^fore going to bed he heard a shot in Hie rear of tlie pro¬ pert.v, which adjoins the Palace on the east side. In a short time three olher shots were flred in quick succession from apparently the same point. The young man went to a rear window, lolied out and discerned the blaze.
Giving un alarm as he riin to tlic blii-/e, he found that a rear window of tile theatre building was raised al>out I .•< inches and the llames wore shoot¬ ing up under the window from tlie inside'.
