FIRE AT THE ALAMO.-When the
new year was about thirty minutes old
the fire deoartment was summoned tC
the Alamo lodging house adjoining the
'tostoffice on the east. The firemeT
had not been called out before since ;
o'clock in the afternoon and had had SC
long a rest it was simply pining for
action. And the way il moved wher
called on will be a credit to the end OF
the record. 1t was sailing up the street
before the people half block from the
Alamo had discovered that a fire We
in progress. The blaze proved to be in
one of the rooms on the west side of the
lower floor and was e:itinguished be-
fore any great damage was done out
side of that apartment. The house has
not been in use for a few weeks as a
general lodging house, but it is said
some Of the rooms were oc-
cuDied temporarily. The cause of the
fire was not learned.
HOW 1T WAS DoNE.-If 1901
proves as lively all year as the last
night of the old year and the early
morning of the first day OF the present
year proved to be, there will be few
Phoenix people suffering of ennui. The
MaricoDa club gave a most enjoyable
ball at the Hotel Adams which was
very largely attended by the society
people of the city. Another most in
teresting function was the grand mas
querade in PadSet hall and there were
numerous private dinner parties and
social gatherings for the purpose of
watching the death of the old year.
At various of the churches watch meet
ings were held and as the hour of mid
night approached there was an occa-
SiOnal pistol shot from some men who
carry Waterbury watches and had
them recently wound so they would run
ahead of the game. At u o'clock the
general racket broke forth as it always
does on the morning of the first day,
only a great deal more so. No more
terrific or unearthly noises could have
been produced If the whistles, bells and
guns of the town had been rehearsing
for 4 week. At the conclusion of this
celebrat zion, the fire department, which
had not been called out for several
hours. was summoned to eXtinguish a
blaze in the Alamo lodging house and
it did so in a manner above criticism.
