Between 4 and o'clock yesterday
afternoon an alarm of fire was sent
in from the rear of saloon row. The
department responded promptly and
II was found that one of the tumble
down storehouses on the alley was in
flames. A stream of water soon put
an end TO the blaze. The damage was
slight. 1t appears that hoboes are in
the napit of congregating in the place,
where they rush the growler and
smoke cigarettes. The stub end of
cigarette thrown among the hay which
covered the floor is supposed to have
started the blaze. The calaboose is
good place for that class of people.
