AN EARLY FIRE.
At an early hour this morning the fire
department was called out by an alarm
from the box at the corner of Washing
ton avenue and Twenty fourth street.
The fire was located in the frame struc-
ture owned by D. II. Perry, located be-
tween Grant and Washington avenues.
The department made q splendid showing
and had the blaze under control before it
had done much damage. However, the
third and second stories were somewhat
burned and but for the active work of the
members of the department the building
would have been entirely consumed. The
building is insured for g, goo in the New

amount in the Firemen's fund of Cali
fornia. Tomorrow morning, George II.
Matson, agent for the companies named,
will make the adjustment of the loss
