Capt. J- R. DeLamsr's heart is in the
right place. The gallant gentleman was
present at the burning of the hotel at
DeLamar and worked heroically to save
property. At a lime when the fire was
hottest the men turned the hose and all
theircilort* toward saving the company's
fine office which his money had built,
when he thundered out in a voice heard
above the roaring flames: "To hell with
the office! See that the poor families up
the street do not lose their homes." The
brave Lawrence's "don't give up the
ship!" were the words of a dying hero,
but no more worthy of immortality than
the sentence uttered by DeLamar in
ordering the men to let his property go
and save the homes of the poor.
