An alarm of fire was given last sun
day morning, fire having been discov-
cred in the noccupied house recently
moved from +. f. Johnson's place to the
lot adjoining the store of NJ. II. Davis.
The blaze was extinguished with very
little effort and very little damage. The
fire is supposed to have originated by
some one who was smoking in the
building throwing a lighted match ON to
pair of old overalls. Strange some PEG
pie will be so careless.

Mrs. Mary Leishman Refused to De-
liver Dead Woman's Clothes
Unless Paid Her Bill.

E w. butcher, who is employed at the
Tesla coal mines, called at police head
quarters yesterday and informed Sergeant
Moff1tt that his wife had died Saturday in
the house of Mrs. Mary Leishman, pro-
fessional nurse, Burline street, San Bruno
road. The funeral was to take place this
morning but Mrs. Leshman had refused
to deliver his wife's clothes to be used in
dressing the body for interment, because
he was unable to pay her board bill
of S15.
The Sergeant took butcher to Judge
Mogan. who issued a search warrant for
the recovery of the clothes, and willingly
consented to hold court in the afternoon
in view of the urgency of the case The
search warrant was given to Detective
r. r. Graham, who took the clothes 10
the courtroom.
butcher admitted his liability, but said
he was unable to pay the SIS board bill
just at present. He agreed to do so as
soon as possible. Mrs. Leishman took the
stand and refused point blank to deliver
the clothes unless she got her money and
also SIS for doctors fees, for which she
was responsible.
The Judge told her she was heartless
woman and had no legal right to hold the
colthes her proper course being to sue
butcher in the Justices Court, and he
awarded the clothes to the husband Mrs
Leishman, who proved to be a voluble
witness persisted in talking. and after
the Judge had several times warned her
to keep quiet, he ordered her into custody
for contempt of court, but soon afterWard
released her on her own recognizanee
