THE USUAL MONDAY FIRE.
Sheds Destroyed on Magoffin Avenue
and Residents Given a Scare.


Ell Psso is gaining a reputation for
| noOn-day fires, and today was no excep-
ton to the general rule. The fire be
rang Justify just before y o'clock, and
the derse smoke rolling up from Ma
| coffin avenue gave the impression tt az
one or more residences up in that quar-
| ter were burning.
The department responded promptly
also the customary crowd of sight
| seers. The fire was found to be an ag
gregation of sheds at the alley between
the residences Of Capt. Beal, Mai.
Jewell, Judge Davis and Miss Mamie
Beall. The flames Originated in an emp
ty shed Of Capt. Be2Il'5 properly used
by Mrs. Eugene Netf for kiln burning
painted China ware, al art in which
she has wOn reputation for artistic
work. She left the kim going at IL
O'Clock and asked her mother 10 shut
it off at 11:30. Mrs. Bea1 in Il null
titude of household cares overlooked
the turning off until nearly neon, and
concludes she must have turned the
gasoline furnace Off the wrong way.
Anyhow, the pe5ky thing caught fire
and Mrs. Beall hal left il in fancied
security; and presently the whole shed
was a bonfire.
The hose carriage did not have suf
ficient hose TO reach the fire, ard had
TO shift position, and ones hose that
got a stream on first, had to lay hose
tor about three blocks. Several mem
bars OF the department were cussing
the department management for hola-
ing the hose wagon back and not using
it, lest little of the paint or varnsh
might get sc-aped in use before the
convention GOT mere. G. ~. Jones says
he made big kick against laying up
the wagon, but they would not listen to
him. With the wagon, hose could
have been laid in about one half the
time, it is claimed. Jones is just ever
lastingly down on "neglecting home
people SO as to make splurge for out
siders." Half dozen other fremen
told a HERALD reporter that it would
also be good thing for the men to
nemorize the location of fire plugs.
This is compulsory in other cities and
should be here.
When the water was once on the
flames they were subdued without any
special ado. The fire burned up Capt.
Beall's shed, and damaged the she1s.
on the other properties mentioned, and
considerable fencing suffered. Two
hundred dollars ought to repay for the
damage; no insurance. The direction.
OF the wind saved Caps. Belll's house
