in the roof OF IA shed back of the Chinese
store located on the corner of Nuuanu
street and the small alley.way leading
from that street near the Empire saloon.

dents who lives over the store inadver-
tently left small but powerful sun
glass near window opening upon the
roof Of the she'd When the sun got
directly over the glass, the roof was SET
on fire. The flames soon spread to the
main building but were fortunately dis
covered and put out with few buckets
OF water before any material damage
was done. A PRESS reporter saw the
sun-glass which caused the trouble; il
was only about two inches in diameter
but as the Chinaman who had it re
marked, it was cheap stlong."
