GIVEN TWO RUNS.
Fire Resulted in the Complete Loss of a
One-Story Dwelling.

One-Story Dwelling.
The fire department was given two
runs in the early part of last evening.
The one at $40 was for a fire which
did damage to the extent of about $500
to a dwelling in South Butte. The sec
ond alarm. which came in 1t $3.50
o'clock, was a false alarm.
About $50 O'Clock fire was discovered
in the one-story frame dwelling at liz
last Aluminium street owned by 81
lingwood & Reznor and occupied by the
family of II. S. Davis, In employee Of
the street railway company. At the
time Mrs. Davis vas sitting IN the
front yard and Mr.. Davis was visiting
with the neighbor next door. Suddenly
he saw smoke issuing from his house,
and almost instantly the place was in
flames. Instantly all was excitement in
the neighborhood, n c~uriously no one
thought to turn in an alarm for some
minutes, and when they did the de
partment could not reach the fire in
time to save the contents oe the house,
which was, as a consequence te-
ly Quilted. The department reached the
scene in time to save the greater part
of the building.
The people who were early on the
ground appear 10 have been greatly ex
cited, as nothing Of any consequence
was removed from the house. and even
t'S "NoihhS oppditl VI tilt IdI1lly WAS
burned except what they had on. The
origin of the fire is a mystery, as there
had been no fire in the house since sup
per time, two hours before the blaze
started. The only theory that could be
offered was that the ceiling caught
from the kitchen stove pipe at supper
time and smouldered till all the doors
were thrown open a few minutes be-
fore the fire was discovered, to let the
house cool off. inc that the draught
thus created famed the s~mouldering
fire into flames. The loss on the build
ing n contents will aggregate about
$500. There was no insurance on the
contents.
The house was situated only about
four feet from hat of John Estensen,
the next door neighbor. and this ives
only saved from catching also by the
GOODNESS of Harry Kenney. who Sc
cured a garden hose, and getting on the
roof. fought off the flames till the de-
partment arrived.
Just as the department had. finished
its work an alarm came in from box
81 and the department made all haste
To the scene, which was the Western
tile works, in the southeastern part of
the city, only to find that some one lad
seen the flames coming out of the
smoke stack and turned in an alarm.
