Residence and Contents Destroyed -
Tuesday Night Fire.
Insurance n

Tuesday night about eight o'cloci
the fire alarm rang for the third ward
when D. X. Bachelors house, opposite
the Presbyterian church was mass Of
j flames. No one had observed It until
too late to save It and the prompt ar.
rival and action Of the hose compan.
iss only partially checking the FLAMES.
NJ. and Mrs. Bachelor had left home
only about half an hour before and
were ct tho opera house when the alarm
Was given. Fred Mielenz and old John
Lutz were the only ones in the house
as the time and were asleep in thu
house when the first men, arrived Al
the burning building. They wer.
gotten out In their scant attire and
would have certainly been lost in !
few moments more.
Only little bedding ana some bed
room furniture were saved, and the
range 10 not badly damaged. Other
wiss the entire contents, including 1
very fne piano, were burned, also eli
the clothing excepting what Mr.. and
Mrs. Bachelor and their ssveral
boarders had upon their person. We
understand that some Of the guests
also lost considerable cash which had
been left in the house. There was no
insurance upon the furniture or con.
tents of the house and the loss is esti-
mated at close to $1,000.
The residence was owned BY Frank
M. Stewart and was formerly owned
and built BY Ed Davis, and was valued
at $1,000. There was no insurance
upon it. The insurance only expired
August 9th and Mr.. Stewart had over
looked the matter and did not know
until the Ere that it had not been re.
written. Consequently the total loss
by the fire was in the neighborhooa of |
$1,000.
The origin of the fire is unknown
and the rapidity with which the flames
swept the entire building was not only
a surprise but a mystery. Suggestions
of incendlarism have been made, but
that seems hardly probable, for there
could be no purpose for such q thing
unless it we're the act of crazy
person, or for the purpose OF
robbery. Another is that th o
electric wires might have caused It.
but the electricians think that was
not at all probable, while others think
that match might have been care
lessly dropped somewhere about the
house earlier in the evening. Bot the
true cause is not know.
1t made hot fire, and being closely
by pine trees, which soon
caught fire, the flames streaked high
into the sky and made fierce but gor.
geous sight.
