Yesterday was q red-letter day with
the firemen. Four fires in one day is q
pretty good record for Fort Worth,
but to have them all occur on the south
side is almost unprecedented. AT 4
o'clock yesterday forenoon the hand
some residence of Judge B. r, Webb,
on the corner of Henderson street
and Daggett avenue, was seen
to be on fire. An alarm was at once
turned in, and with the aid of chemi-
Gals and four powerful streams OF
water, the fremen were able to subdue
the flames. The entire roof OF the
beautiful home was burned away, and
the interior of the building, which was
not quite finished, was water-soaked
aud ruined. 1t is understood that
Judge Webb had some insurance or
the building.-F0rt Worth Register.
