Caused Probably by an Old Mans
Little Christmas Skate.
Last night at II o'clock Officer Her
rerra discovered fire in little
Mexican shanty adjoining +. Piazzi-
mis- warehouse, at No. 107 South Con-
cho street, and he turned in fire
alarm from box 413 at the Washing
ton theatre.
The fire blazed brightly for few
minutes, catching the warehouse, but
on the arrival of the fire department
was quickly under control, though it
was. some time before the flames
were fully subdued, on account of the
nature of the heavy stock of goods
in the warehouse, which consisted of
baled hay, grain, flour, etc. The loss
by damage from the water will be
heaviest. The building, owned by Eli
Arnaud, was valued at about 5000
and was insured for $4OO. Piazzini's
stock was valued at $500, insured for
$500.
An old Mexican man and wife occu-
pied the hut which caught first. Their
house was completely destroyed.
During the first part of the night
they had been celebrating Christmas
and the old man crushed the growl-
er" quite frequently. The SUPPOSE
'tiOn is that he went to bed drunk and
their lamp overturned or exploded.

STOLEN GOODS RECOVERED.
Booty of The Elmendorf, Thompson

Detective Shoaf.

Booty or Inc ElmenuOr1, thompson
And Buchanan Raids Found BY
Detective Shoaf.
City Detective Shoaf yesterday re-
covered the stolen goods, jewelry, sill
verware, etc., that was stolen Thurs
day last from the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. Elmendorf, on Alamo
street.
Some negro children were playing
around the Arkansas Pass depot
and yards and in prying about a cul-
vert over a street, they found some of
the stolen goods. The matter was re-
ported to the detective department
and Capt. Shoaf worked on the case
all of yesterday with the result that
he not only recovered nearly all Of
the Elmendorf property, but also the
goods stolen from Mrs. Thompson's
residence on Third street, and from
the residence of ]. e. Buchanan, on
Augusta street early in the week.
Some of the goods were found in a
room that had been occupied by Mes
srs. F. Hamilton and George Wal
lace, the two men arrested Friday by
Detective Shoaf and officer Moses,
on the charges Of being suspicious
characters. 1t is believed the officers
have a straight case against these
men and charges of burglary will be
preferred against them.
At the Elhendorf residence the bur-
glars took life easy, as they not only
helped themselves literally to nearly
all the wine and cigars on the side
board, but drank the wine before they
left the place. The only bottle they
left was one containing fine whisky
but which was labelled MIXED Paint,
for Interior USE" This had been
sent by a drummer friend of Mr.. FL
mendorf as Christmas present. The
burglars were evidently afraid to
tackle this paint"
The list of articles taken from the
Elmendorf residence. No. 1106 Alamo
street, is as follows: Gold chain and
heart locket, set with one or two ru-
bies and one white stone, one scarf
pin with ruby setting, five or six rings,
two set with milk opals, one pansy,
one with chip diamond setting, large
gold spoon, colored handle. with gold
