GREAT FIRE
Fiendish Work
Of Fire Bugs.

a few minutes before 2 o'clock this
morning a fire was started in Frazer's
lumber yard at Fifth and L streets,
and in one minute the entire quarter
of block Of lumber was seething
mass of flames.
Houses all about were catching fire
and it looked as if the entire block
would be consumed
Deputy Coroner Craig, who lives near
by and who sent in the alarm, stated
that he sn1elled coal oil distinctly COM
ing from all quarters when he reached
the burning piles Of lumber.
1t must have been SO. because
blocks away when the fire started, and
as soon as he could ride there on his
bicycle-not over couple of minutes
the whole lumber yard was burning.
The horses in Schad Bros stable on
K street were turned loose, and the
streets were filled in few minutes
with frightened animals rushing hither
and thither.
People were removing their furniture
on all sides, and at 2:2O it looked as if
nothing could prevent the fire from
h. md
even across the alley up to K street,
on which line We're all business houses.
LATER.
At a quarter to O'Clock the firemen
apparently had the fire under such con-
troll that it would be confined to the
lumber yard.
The entire stock of lumber, covering
a quarter of a block was burning, and
the loss must fall heavily on W. F. Fra
ser, the proprietor.
The woodwork in the rear of the brick
residences, Nos. I'LL and 1121 Fifth
street was burned and the families all
forced to fee. Most of the furniture
was gotten out, but it lies in the street
in a badly damaged condition.
Mrs. Mary C. Scott owns I'LL, and
occupied the third floor. Mrs. Waugh
and family live on the second floor, and
3. Voss and family on the first.
Mrs. John Azavedo occupied No. 1121.
where rooms were let Everybody got
out safely.
On the L-street side, east of the lum-
Der yard, a Chinese washhouse was
burned out.
The rear portion of Schad's stables,
on the alley between K and L streets,
and just opposite the lumber yard,
caught fire, but was saved
The fremen worked heroically to pre-
vent the fire from spreading beyond
the limits of the half-bloclz in which it
started. and were favored by the alb
sence, of wind.
There can be no doubt the fire was
the work of incendiaries, for as above
stated, the entire lumber yard for $50
feet square, was one sheet of flame
within minute or two after the fire
started.
At O'Clock the fire still ragged in the
great piles of lumber, but the firemen
had it surrounded with streams Of
water-such as they were.
1t was impossible to obtain any in
formation as to the probable loss.
