A Fire.

Sunday morning about 8 o'clock, as
the rain and thunder storm was over
our city, the residence and boarding
house of Mrs. L. A. Rowe, on Nacog-
doches, between Houston and Crock
EFT streets, was almost entirely con-
sumed by fire. The building belonged
to the Sam Maverick estate and was
insured for 81, 500. It was valued at
about the same figure.
Mrs. Rowe and her borders lost all
their effects, except what clothing
they escaped in. Mrs. Rowe's loss is
about S5O0,and that of her boarder's
cannot be correctly estimated. Among
the effects was great deal of furni.
ture and nice piano. Oniy
a portion of the bedding was
rescued and that is very much dam
aged.
The origin of the fire is mysterious.
no lamps were left burning in the
front of the house where the fire had
its origin, and there were no stoves
there. A flash of lightning accom-
panied by thunder, toOkk place short.
ly after the fire broke forth, but this
could not possibly have been the
cause. The general impression is that
it was incendiary origin, and is the
third fire of Maverick property within
the past few weeks.

THE BLIND TIGER"

What it is and Where and How Ii
Is Operated.
at see blind tiger was raided in
Salina, Kan, a few days ago, but l
don't see how it is possible for a re-
gular tiger to be caught"
The speaker was Mr.. Jos. G.. Chic,
who has Just returned from several
years residence in Kansas, during
which time he saw great deal of the
"Tiger" and the various workings of
the prohibition law.
"The tiger" ne continued, lis
what is known as whisky joint,
and was conceived to evade the pro-
hibition law without setting up a
drug store as a CLOAK. The man who
runs the tiger the bartender, occu-
pies very small aud secret Enclosure.
Into this place he takes a small guam
tity of liquor. enough possibly to run
half day, but not so much that he
can not get 1t out of sight in q very
few minutes In case the officers
appear on smelling tour.
Nobody ever sees the tiger
and nobody ever hears him. He can
deliver his goods from the front, back
top or bottom by slides in the two
former and by dummies in the two
latter cases. The dummy is the most
approved method of working. From
overhead the keeper of the place may
have living rooms, in which he can re
ceive visitors. These visitors are sim

From the room in which they are re-
ceived dummy drops to the tiger

what you want and the money neces-
sary to pay for it. The tiger never
trusts. No matter who you are you
must put the money on the Glide, or
dummy, or you will not receive any
attention. Even the proprietor follows
this rule, and mis- orders are never
filled unless they are accompanied by
the money.
