Up in Smoke.

The building on Springer street,
owned by NJ. B. Simms Of
Gainesville, and occupied by E. D.
Norris and family, was destroyed
by fire together with the contents,
at an early hour Sunday morning
The explosion of a lamp was the
origin of the fire, which burned
fiercely for a short time.
The building, a one story frame
structure, was insured for $500
with Bruce and Torbett.
Mr.. Norris had 5000 insurance
on household goods with Redfield &
Son.
Night Operator h. T. Ruther-
ford also had rooms in the build
ing, he being at work and Mrs.
Rutherford absent in Texas, every.
thing they had was destroyed anG
they had no insurance.
The stiffness of the night alone
prevented what otherwise might
have been a serious confagration
owing to the proximity of adjacent
buildings and the very dry condi
ton of everything.
