Lamp and Fires building
Yesterday morning little after ; O'Clock
an alarm Of fire was sounded, and the scene
of conhasration proved TO be the two.story
frame building occupied by Mr.. J. A.
Pierce, corner Of Swiss avenue and Haw-
Sins streets, as u grocery store and resi-
dence. Composed. of old and well.seasoned
lumber, it burned very rapidly, and
though the tremen responded promptly,
YET by the time they arrived the flames had
gained such Roadway that they were be
yond immediate control, and the house was
consumed with all its contents, Mr.. Pierce,
vile and three children barely escaped be.
ing burned alive, The iiremen did good
service, however, in saving the adjacent
buildings. The origin of the fire, as told
oy Mr.. Pierce, is novel and rather out of
the usual order Of the origin Of conllagra.
tions, About 3 O'Clock his wife awoke
him by nudging him in the side,
and told him that she feared that
there was some intruder in the build
ing, but he deemed il only A
woman's fancy, and was doing OIL to sleep
again, when he was thoroughly awakened
by man stalking through the room with
the Kerosene lamp, they had left burning
AL MS MANU- ne KNEW tuAt the party was
out of time and place at such an unseason-
able hour, and reaching beneath his pillow
for his six-shooter he saluted the visitor
who in turn threw the lighted lamp at
him, which burst and threw the burning
oil all over the floor and bedding. This
