JURYMAN DOES NOT
 KNOW OF HIS LOSS
HOME OF B. F. cAFFEE, WHO IS ON THE WISE JURY, IS BURNED, BUT NEWS OF THE DISASTER IS KEPT FROM HIM.

The home of Juryman B. F. Caffee was engaged in hearing the testimony in the trial of William Wise in the criminal court and MT. Caffee does not yet know that he is without house and home.
 Jurymen in so important case as that against MT. Wise are guarded very zeal ously and they are not allowed to commu- nicate with anyone except the judge of the court and the bailiffs. As they can not read the newspapers they know prac- tically nothing that is going on in the outside world
 MT. Caffees home was on Nineteenth street between Fifth and Sixth avenues. His family was left in the street with few household goods and the wife had to go ahead and make some temporary arrangements without the advice of her husband.
 It was felt that if MT. Caffee was told of the fire 1t would distract his attention from the case on trial and he could not render his verdict with as clear a mind as he could if he was not informed of his personal loss. The tragic feature of the circumstance lies in the fact that he will know nothing about it until after the verdict is rendered which will probably not be earlier than Saturday night.
 The court gave the bailffs instructions yesterday afternoon to take special pains to keep the juryman from learning that his home had been been destroyed by fire until after the case is finished.

IRE DEPARTMENT HAS DAY OF TRIALS TWO BIazes Announced at the
 Same Time LEMP'S BEER DEPOT BURNS Residence Adjoining It Is Damaged and Several Negro shacks Destroyed.
 Another Fire Breaks Out
 on Nineteenth Street.
LEMP'S BEER DEPOT BURNS

While the fire department was work ing hard on bad fire at Twenty-hrst street and the Frisco tracks yesterday afternoon about 2:15 o'clock a second alarm came in for fire at 514 North Nineteenth street and practically the en- tire department was forced to turn out. The first fire originated about 1850 o'clock in the Lemps beer depot at sSs North Twenty-first street and caused damage of about ss00o part of which is covered by insurance. The fire Is sup posed to have originated from spark from passing engine on the Frisco | tracks,
 The building in which the fire started | was completely destroyed, a residence adjoining 1t was badly damaged and six negro shacks facing the railroad were destroyed. The heavy loss was oecasloned by the fierce wind which swept down the railroad tracks and carried sparks for blocks from the place of the fire. A dozen other buildings caught fire, but were extinguished before the blaze be. came large enough to do any damage. covered BY insurance. The beer depot was the property of the Lemps company, and was valued at about $30O0, fully covered by insurance. There | was no beer stored in the building at the time of the fire. William Wise & Co. are the agents here.
 The residence occupied by w. T. Yea sey. at SS2 North Twenty-frst street, | | ly damaged. The building was the prop erty of H. II. Mayberry and was valued at about 5000. The loss is about $500. well covered with insurance. The furni- ture belonged to MT. Veasey and he esti- mates his loss at 5000, with about $7OO in- surance,
 The negro shanties along the railroad were also the property of H. II. May berry and were valued at about $1SOO They were totally destroyed. It is said they were covered by insurance. Chiches- ter, Yancey and Orr are the agents for all the Mayberry property destroyed. Furniture was thrown out of the res idences at S26 and SS0 Twenty street, and considerable damages was done by it's being broken. The fast work of the department alone prevented these buld- ings being destroyed, as the wind was sweeping the flames against them i'm great sheets.
 Another Fire.
 The residence occupied by B. F. Calf fee, pattern maker, at 514 North Nine- teenth street, caught fire about 2:15 o'clock from an unknown cause and was badly damaged. It was the property of Dr. T. N. Angin and was covered by s60C insurance. It was valued at about slOOO The furniture of MT. Caffee was badly damaged. It was not covered by insur- ance.
 MT. Caffee is on the Wise jury. This is quite a coincidence as Wise who Is be- ing tried for his life is the agent for the brewery .n whose building the other fire originated.
 False Alarm.
 At about o'clock last night tele- phone alarm was sent into the fire de- partment that there was another fire at Twenty-frst street and Eighth avenue Three pieces af apparatus responded, but a careful search fai,ed to show any Ire.

ATTORNEYS BEGIN ARGUMENT
 IN WISE CASE THIS MORNING
LAWYERS IN WISE CASE
 ENGAGE IN FIST FIGHT

A sensational climax to the days pro- ceedings of the Wise trial yesterday was a fist fight between Capt F. s. White and Attorney S. D. Weakley, leading counsel respectively for the defendant and for the state in the famous case.
 The difficulty occurred about o'clock just as Judge D. A. Greene adjourned court for the day The jury which is hearing the trial had retired to the jury room and so did not see the trouble, all though the courtroom was full of spec tators and there were many visiting at- torneys present in addition to the remain der of the counsel for the two sides in the case.
 The trouble arose very quickly and was over in a few seconds, although two or three sever blows were struck before the men were parted.
 It was caused primarily by the settle ment of the arrangements for conduct ing the arguments in the case just before the close of the afternoon session. When the state announced that they would close their case Judge Greene asked what arrangements the attorneys wish ed to make about the arguments.
 Captain White Addresses Court.
 Capt. F. S. White for the defendant arose and said that the defendant was willing to submit the case to the jury without argument This was said before the jury retired. MT. Weakley said he thought the case ougI-s to be argued and A A- -A A a A A e A a ( . e-

Would Consent to Meeting.

He said that in the conversation with Mrs Rube he told her he would not all low her to keep the engagement at the hotel. but that he would go himself and try to get the letters; that the reason he took a roundabout route to go to the hotel was because Lathem would be watching for Mrs Rubel coming along Nineteenth street and that if he saw Wise coming he would get out of the way and refuse to talk with him; that after he had gone back to his saloon after the trouble a coored woman brought him a note from Havis to come to room over Goss' saloon, and that he went over there for few minutes; that afterwards Havis brought his pistol back over to Wise's saloon, where the officers got it; that the witness telephoned the sheriff's when they had returned.
 Lathem Cursed Number of Times.
 Mir. Wise further said that during the conversation in the lobby Lathem said very little but that he cursed a number of times; that after Lathem struck at him and they had clinched and Havis jumped between them and threw them six or eight feet apart, that Havis then had I.athem around the neck, striking him from below, that he went back into the fight. that Lathem did not seem able to do much of anything and the witness said

that the state felt that the case was Of sufficient importance to merit arguments by both sides in the usual form, anG added that as he was to make the frs speech for the state he would prefer tha the arguments be not begun until this morning
 Judge Greene stated that that was satis- factory and adjourned court
 The attorneys for both sides then min gled among each other about the table near the bench and John T. Shugart oi the defendants counsel, was talking te MT. weakley Capt White was standing near and MT. Weakley remarked vo MT Shugart in a tone which Capt White overheard:
 Such practice is disreputable."
 Captain White Hears Remark.
 He was referring to the defendants ae- ton in stating before the jury that they were willing to submit the case without argument Capt. White stepped forward and said:
 "Dd l understand you rightly?"
 T simply said that such practice Is dis reputable and indecent" said MT. Weak ley
 Quick as flash Capt. White landed z we'll delivered blow on MT. Weakley' g face. Mir. Weakley returned the blow and two or three further licks were struck by each before Judge J. J. Banks and oth- CTS jumped forward and separated the two men.

No Agreement to Kill Lathen.

The witness said that he had no agree ment with anyone to kill Lathem, and that he went there with no idea of doing him any bodily harm; that he did not know and had no idea that Glen Havs was going to the hotel that morning; that during the difficulty he at no time used any other weapon than his hand, and that no one. during the scuffle said Stop hitting me, Wise"
 On cross-examination the witness said that at no time did Lathem say 'If have done anything wrong I want to apologize for 1t; 1 want to act a man." that he had not seen Havis since the previous night at about o'clock; that while the conversation was going on in the lobby he did practically all the talk ing but that Havls was close enough to hear all that was being said that he told Lathem he was no gentleman; that he told Lathem that MT. Rubel had received a letter from Mrs. Lathem, stating tha. she was going to file a bill for divorce because of some letters that had been written and was going to name Mrs. Rubel as correspondent

Wanted to See Mrs. Rubel.

The witness said that Lathem said to let Mrs. Rubel meet him there the next morning; that he then told him that he would never let her speak another word to him as long as he had breath in his body.
