NIGHT = DEF E CTIVE
FLUE THE CAUSE.

Fire broke out in the residence of
Justice A. j. Cartwright on Clark
street yesterday evening about 6:30
and before the flames could be gotten
under control damage amounting to
about $500 was done. The cause of
the fire is not known. but 1t is sup
posed to have been due to a defective
flue.
Judge Cartwright with his little
daughter, Lucille, was in down town
restaurant at the time the alarm was
given, and Mrs. Cartwright was at
the home of a neighbor. She had
left the house but a short time pre-
vious, however, on an errand. The
first notification anyone had of the
blaze was when clouds of smoke
commenced pouring through the
roof.
The department was quick to re-
spond to the alarm and within a
quarter of an hour had the fire ex-
tinguished. Good work was done
both by members of the department
and neighbors who removed good
part of the household goods which
might have been damaged. This
was done in spite of the fact that the
house was so thickly filled with
smoke that it was impossible to re-
main in it for more than few sec
onds at a time. The fire itself did
little damage other than to burn a
hole through the roof near the kit
