SATURDAYS FIRE.
the f1rebug's First Visit TO Pros
Pect HiIl-BuFps a Vacant
House

At about 6:15 Saturday afternoon. fire
was discovered in the west side of the
vacant house belonging to the Prospe ct
Hill Baptist church, which is situated on
West Commerce street on that hill.
There being no alarm box on the hill
man ran all the way to the corner Of Me-
dina and West Commerce street, to turn
in the alarm. He arrived there lust after
the alarm had been turned in, which
was some fifteen minutes after the fire
had started. TWAS at least a half hour
after it had started when the fire depart
ment arrived and then some time before
they got water on it. The house was
totally destroyed, and with it the furni-
ture which had belonged to its former
owner, Mr.. White, who recently died and
willed the property to the church. The
house was valued at between $3.50 and
$500, which was total loss as there was
no insurance on il. The fire originated
in the west end of the building. which
was stable, and was undoubtedly incen-
diary.
Prospect Hill is greatly in need of an
alarm box. The nearest number. 30. is
about a mile distant from the hill. The
city council ordered one to be placed
there but the order has never been full
filled. The residents on the hill are con-
siderably stirred up over the affair as it
is the first incendiary fire they have sus-
tanned and only the second fire on record
in their locality.
