FIRE IN DOUGLAS
Saloon in Which Lorenzo Bass was
 Killed is Destroyed
Special to Review

N0PNNAe64 tC INCF 4C
 Douglas, Feb 13.-The Copper Belt theater, Cowboys Home saloon and a restaurant. formerly known as the Fashion saloon, adjoining the theater, were completely destroyed by fire this morning.
 As far as can be ascertained the fire was the outcome of a quarrel be. tween a Mexican prostitute and her lover, who lived in back room of the Cowboys Home During the quarrel the woman threw lamp at the man. IL struck the wall, broke and set the place on fire.
 The house being a light frame struc. ture, lined with cloth and papered the fire spread with great rapidity to all shack adjoining, and the Cop per Belt theater and g building ad. joining, occupied as a restaurant, were soon in flames.
 The Cowboys Home was owned by man named Coats. It and all the contents were total loss. This is the saloon in which Lorenzo Bass was killed
 The Copper Belt theater was owned by J. o. Phillips. Mir Phillips saved his piano, cash register, cigars and liquors, but all the fixtures were a to, tai loss. The building was insured for S1.50O.
 Again the fire department has dem. onstrated its value to the town. It worked heroically and effectually. But for the efforts of the fire boys the two story adobe on the corner of Sixth street and Railroad avenue, Jacks lumber yard, the lumber yard of the Douglas Lumber company, and the Douglas feed store would have been destroyed
 It is not known why, but for some minutes after the hose was attached to the hydrant there was no water with which to fight the fire. Some say it was fully twenty minutes before the water came on in sufficient force with which to fight the fire
