Another shot ashes" fire was started
at o'clock yesterday morning upon
the premises of Mr.. W. X. Bell, on
Forrest street. The vessel containing
the hot ashes was placed too near a pile
of trash and in some way the heap was
ignited. The fire department was
called out, making the second day

resulted. Fires of this nature are of
frequent occurrence, and housekeepers
should be very careful in having hot
ashes removed from the fireplace and
