FIRE IN SELMA
HOME OCCUPIED BY EDNA ALLEN
 IS DEsTROYED.
Loss on Structure Placed at s2.5No. While Effects Burned Were val ued at $4,000, Partially
 Insured.
Advertiser Bureau,

Selma, Feb. 26. A house on Green Street occupied l by Edna Allen, white woman. was destroyed by fire this morning about s;se o'clock A telephone alarm was sent to police headquarters from res- taurant on North Street. between Green and Lawrence Through a mis- understanding the officer at headquar- ters directed the department to the home of John Esler, on Dallas Street. but after it reached that part of the city the firemen discovered that there was no fire there.
 They then saw the blaze on Green Street and made q run for the place and reached there shortly after the arrival of the department from the Eastern part of the city. When both of the companies reached the scene of the fire the house was a mass of flames and beyond saving. The de- partment turned its attention to the adjoining property, and after heroic work managed to keep adjoining ~hous- es from being destroyed by the flames. The house on the north side of the burning building owned by Emma Gardner. negro woman. was damaged to the amount of about $50.
 The flames were first discovered In the rear of the house and as a heavy west wind was blowing at the time they spread rapidly to the front of the building. How the fire originat- cd is a mystery for at the time 1t was discovered Edna Allen was away from home and the occupants had not arose from their nights sleep
 The house was full of valuable fur niture all of which was destroyed It is also said that the Allen woman lost some diamonds. The personal effects of all of the occupants. as well as those of the landlady were consumed. The house was the property of Emma Cruikshank, negro woman. and was valued at about $2,500. which was partly covered by insurance. The fur niture and household effects of the Allen woman and the other occupants are estimated at about $4 .500, the fur niture boing partly covered by insur- ance
 Some of the women barely escaped with their lives, as the flames spread rapidly and they were all asleep at the time the fire was discovered,

No Truth in Report .

A number of Selmians were consid- erably wrought up last night over the report that smallpox had been dis covered among the Hungarian Gyp- sies who are camped on the banks of the Alabama River across from the city. Yesterday afternoon several hum dred citizens went across the bridge to look at the Gypsies and when the re- port of smallpox became generally known they were all afraid. that they would take the disease
 The rumor was called to the atten- ton of the Board of Health and this morning an examination of the camp was made and 1t was found that there was no truth in the report. It is very likely that some effort will be made in the next day or so to get the county or city authorities to have the Gyp- sies move on.
