 1 On Tuesday afternoon Mrs. L.. G. ICoombs discovered the rear door of her home to be on fire on the outside. The
 flames were quickly quenched, and
 none tCo soon, as in a very few min
 utes, if unchecked, they must have in
 volved not only the building but the
 whole block, and threatened the central business portion Of the town. A few
 minutes previous to the discovery of
 the fire the two little boys of Mrs. Gam were playing at the spot where l the fire took place and subsequently matches were found near by. This
 was the third fire that had occurred
 in and in close proximity to the Gam
 lodging house within three weeks, and
 naturally the owners and occupants of
 houses in the block have become
 alarmed regarding the Gam property
 as a serious menace, as block 75 is GOV
 cred almost entirely by frame build
 ings, which woulu burn like tinder. i The disastrous Jerome conhaSration
 and the more recent fire at Tucson
 have increased the apprehension Of
 citizens who are considering what steps
 had best be taken for the protection Of their property. Too great care cannot
 be taken by the occupants of houses,
 especially in the center of town where
 a fire might mean the destruction of
 hundreds Of thousands of dollars 1 worth Of property-Globe Silver Belt.
