None of the others, however, succeeded In
saving much. If anything.
There were three small unoeeupied dwell

quickly consumed, and also a dwelling

The heat on the opposite side of both

miracle that the flames were prevented
from spreading in those directions.
1t was exceedingly fortunate that there
was no strong wind blowing, otherwise
the loss must have been considerable, as

MONEY DIFFERENCES.
Barclay Henley and Howard Mac
Sherry to Dissolve Partnership.

To-day the law firm of Henley and Mac
Sherry will probably be dissolved, the dis
solution being demanded by Mr.. Henley.
who claims that his partner has been re-
miss in money matters Of the firm and to
the firms clients.
The matter was developed about week
ago when Mr.. MacSherry went to Los
Angeles to attend to some legal business.
Soon after his departure one OF the
firms clients came to the office and
demanded of Mr.. Henley the sum
of $3.50, which he said had been collected
by MacSherry several weeks ago oD behalf
of the client. AS the money had never
been turned into the firms funds. Mir.
Henley sent telegram to Los Angeles
demanding the immediate return OF the
junior member of the firm.
In response to this demand MacSberry
arrived in this city last night on the over
land train and was met on the other side
of the bay by c. A. Macomber, client
and friend of both the attorneys who had
volunteered to aid in adjusting their differ
ences. To him Mr.. MacSherry admitted
having collected the $3.50 referred to, but
said he had paid it out for legitimate pur-
poses. He denied having collected other
moneys. He denied ever having gambled
or INDUCED in any other dissipation. and
himself and his partner would not amount t
TO more than $500.
When asked for information regarding
the matter Mr.. Henley said that it was a
matter OF no great Importance to any one
except himself. He further said that the
money difference could not by any posi-
bility amount to more than $500 and
would probably not reach half that amount.
lie said the firm had just won lawsuit in
Arizona from which it would receive
$4,000, and therefore Mr.. MacSherry had
plenty of money due him as a partner to
wipe out any shortage in his personal
account. His determn alton TO dissolve the
partnership now existing between himself
and Mr.. MacSherry was due entirely to
conscientious scrupleS as to the manner in
which business should be conducted.
A meeting between the partners will
occur this morning and their differences
will be explained and adjusted. and ar
raDgements made for the severance of
their business connection.
