| about one o'clock, three room house on
Henderson street, was destroyed by fire.
1t was occupied by negro woman named
Ellis, who is employed at the Kennesaw
Hotel. She was not'at home at the time.
Parties think the house was robbed and
set on fire. The window was open when
parties reached to extinguish the fire.
Through the open window the woman
was enabled to reach her trunk which was
open. She had $4,000 in paper money
and $4,000 in silver. She succeeded in
getting her paper money, but her silver
was gone. The fremen turned on two
streams OF water from the waterworks and
did some good work in partly saving the
building. The house belonged to Mr..
Irvine Smith.
