CHICAGO

E. M. Lunt, Chicago and Western manager for the Towle Manufacturing Company, arrived home last Friday morning from a month’s trip to the Pacific slope, in which he was combining business with pleasure. Mr. Lunt tells us that he just got away from San Francisco in time to miss the great catastrophe which befell that city last week. His brother, Geo. D, Lunt, the New York manager for the same house, was not so fortunate, however, as he and his wife were spending a few weeks in ‘Frisco, visiting Mrs. Lunt’s people. They were all through the terrible calamity, but, happily, came out unhurt.
