This morning between 2 and 8
o'clock the Pete Hamilton house two
miles north on the Central avenue road
was burned to the ground. The origin
OF the fire Is unknown. The place is
owned by Mrs. Plato and is occupied
by Mr. and Mrs c. z. Edwards. The
first knowledge they had of the frs
was when they suddenly awakened to
find the east portion of the house in
! flames. They managed to make theil
/ escape, Mr.. Edwards with his clothes
but Mrs. Edwards only had light
wrapper. The house was large two
story structure valued at $4,000, which
/ is partly covered by Insurance, but
/ there was no insurance on the Ed
wards furniture. There is hardly
enough of the house left this morning
to make kindling wood although g
large brick chimney marks the site
A telephone call was sent to fire sta
4 ton No. 1 and the department re
/ spondeds going as far as Soldier creek
