FIRE THIS AFTERNOON.
Two Buildings on South Fourth Street
Totally DESTROYED

The two frame buildings on Soutl
Fourth street. opposite the CONNER
cal club, were almost totally destroy
ed by fire this afternoon.
About 3 o'clock fire was discovered
in the board sidewalk AT the southeast
corner of Gold avenue and Fourth
street and an alarm was hurriedly SEN
ln But before the fire department,
could respond. and In less than two
minutes the flames had spread over
the entire sidewalk and the two frame
bindings were burning
The buildings were owned by J. G.
Baldridgo. and were occupied by ,ae
families VI Fred Parish and Mr. Anaya
and the carpenter shop OF Dwight
Wheeler. Very few of the contents OF
the buildings were saved.
Mr. Baldridge at first thought there
was no insurance on the buildings, but
afterwards informed the reporter tnat
he had found a policy for 5000.
II is thought the fire originated from
n lighted match thrown on the side
walk which was covered with cotton
from the trees and caused the fire 10
spread so rapidly.
The FIRE department made a good
run and received valuable assistance
from several citizens. but they were
handicapped in having only one line OF
hose and the large surface Of TWO build
lngs 10 play upon.
Several amusing features occurred
during the 'irc. one of which was the
grand spectacular performance of Cap
tain Hanlon and Charlie QUEER in their
double back somorsault from the top
OF the rear building

and deserve credit for their persever.
