Five Room Cottage Burned in Blaze
Which Started from a Cook.
Stove-Owners Save
Little

A fve-room cottage on old Temple
road between Ensign and Tanning
streets, was burned to the ground
owned by T. w. Wilson, who lived
on the premises with his family. Miss
A. Edwards rented room from the
Wilson's and was also living in the
house at the time. A bungalow next
door owned by Fred James lost its
roof during the fire.
The flames broke out about S:15
o'clock. There was large fire started
in the coal stove in the kitchen, and
it is thought the hot fire ignited the
paper on the wall behind the stove.
Mrs. Wilson and Miss Edwards were
in the yard. They noticed the smoke
and started to enter the house, but
found the flames had spread so fast
it was impossible for them to reach the
telephone in the hall.
A boy in the neighborhood was sent
three blocks to Temple and Occidental
boulevard to send in an alarm. Engine
companies 20 and responded to the
call, but before they had arrived the
house was enveloped in flames.
A couch, a few pictures and all the
bedding were saved by the neighbors
before the engines arrived. Miss Ed
wards succeeded in saving her trunk.
The nearest water hydrant was three
blocks distant and it was necessary to
run a three-block hose line to get a
stream on the house. The stream was
directed on the James bungalow, and
1t was only by the persistent effort
of the firemen the bungalow was
saved. BY $40 a. m. the fire was ex-
tinguished, and nothing but two brick
chimneys and a heap of ashes re-
mained of the Wilson house.
Mr.. Wilson, who is suffering from
heart trouble, did not witness the
burning of his house, and his wife
feared to tell him lest the shock of
the news might have an i'll effect upon
him. Mr.. Wilson is building con-
tractor. His house was valued at
about 81, 100, $500 of which was COW
cred by insurance. The loss on the
James bungalow is estimated to be
about 5000. The Wilson family were
given accommodation by neighbors
across the street.
