The engine house at Five Points telephoned to the headquart1rs of the fire department and Chief Browder and an engine hurried to the Southern end of the city. The department went to the city limits at the corner of Amanda Street and Jeff Davis Avenue and when it was discovered that the burning prop erty was far beyond the limits of the city the fremen returned to their quar- ters.
 The Hughes plantation is owned by Egbert J. Hughes, Money Order Clerk in the Montgomery postoffice and his broth CT, John F. Hughes, Deputy United States Internal Revenue Collector: Egg bert J. Hughes occupied the residence which was burned His brother boards In the city.
