This is the account the Blackwell News
gise of the origin OF the fire in the re-
groes home: The quiet OF Sunday night
was suddenly broken by the ringing OF
bells, followed by the clatter Of the hose
reel and the hook and ladder truck as
as they swung out Of the fire house and
started through the streets in search Of
the fire. But the run was shortly aban-
dOned as no one seemed able 10 locate the
fire. 1t was learned afterwards that fire
had broken out in the house occupied BY
the negro family that moved into this city
last week. No one seems TO know just
how the fire started. as the negroes were
not at home at the time. Possibly IL was
caused by the moons rays focusing
through the window glass, or by rats
playing with matches.
