HURLEY FAVORED
IN HARD FIGHT
WITH GRIFFIN
Most of Those Who Saw Fight
Say Batting One Was
More Effective.

Battling Hurley and Charley Griffin

bouts at the Paramount last night,

Fire Thursday Morning.

Thursday morning at IL O'Clock, the
roof of John A. Welsh's home, at cor
ner of Jackson and Fifth streets, was
discovered burning. The regular
alarm whistle brought out Hope Fire
Co. in quick time, but prompt work
with buckets had almost put out the
fire before the firemen arrived. How
the fire originated is not known, but
most probably from spark from the
chimney, about six feet away from the
burned spot. Aside from the shingles
destroyed, little damage was sustained.
A peculiar circumstance of the fire was
that only four days before another
house owned by Mr.. Welsh, located
on the opposite side of Fifth street
from his home, caught fire on the roof
In the same mysterious way and did just
about the same damage.
