The residence of j. G Pierce, on
Ft. Scott street, was badly scorched
by fire Friday night about l o'clock.
The fire originated in a closet under
the Steps leading to the upstair
rooms, but just how it started is a
mystery. The fire spread from room
to room very rapidly, and it was
with difficulty that Mr.. and Mrs
Pierce, who are quite aged people,
and a young lady, occupants of tho
dwelling made their escape. A pocket
book containing $12 in a bureau
drawer was missing after the fire.
The department responded prompt
ly, they had an excellent pressure of
water and the fire was confined to
the interior Of the house. Every
room but two were badly burned,
and it is to the credit and excellent
judgment of the now chief, aud
faithful and Efficient work of the
company that disastrous fire was
averted. The burnt building is in
the rear of the Laclede hotel, a three
story structure, and had the fire
spread to the hotel, it would have
been almc st impossible to have saved
the large livery barn and sheds of
@. B. Lewis, which would have made
one OF the biggest fires Butler has
witnessed in years. fr. Pierce held
an insurance of $1,000 on the house
and 5000 on furniture.

This seemed to meet with the views of

stated that the assessment district
would probably be made to include Los
Angeles and Main streets and one side
Of Spring street, but this was merely a
possibility, as perhaps both sides
Of Spring street may be includ-
ed. How far south this district will
extend depends upon the future examin-

cause much complaint in certain quar-
