Pest Houses burned.

The fire department was called
out about two o'clock Sunday
morning by fire in the pest
houses in the north end of town.
1t was the last of four small build
ings which had been erected dur
ing the boom and for several years
past they had been used as pest
houses. Their presence has been
very obnoxious to the residents in
that part of town and it is not at
all surprising that they have been
burned. Two efforts were made
last month in which three of the
buildings were nearly destroyed
and the blaze Sunday morning
completed the job. The fires have
undoubtedly been OIL incendiary
origin but it is hardly probable
that any effort will be made to
discover the guilty parties.
