ANOTHER BLAZE.
Dunn & BrutineI Lose Three Buildings
 Close Call For Fraser Row.

Close Call For Fraser Row.
 At II o'clock Wednesday morning the fire alarm was turned in, an- nouncing the location as Dunn's row, South Clifton, and though the A. c. fire department was on the scene within five minutes after the alarm was turned in, the flames had gained such headway that it was i'm possible to save the three frame dwellings in the rear of the Shannon store, it requiring diligent effort to prevent the burning of the adjoining houses and the Fraser row, in which direction a stiff wind was blowing.
 The fire started in the dwelling oc- cupied as a residence by Professor Walter Bond and family. Mrs. Bond when the stove pipe fell down and in some manner the stove fell over. The fire seemed to start almost inn mediately near the hue and by the time Mrs. Bond gave the alarm the ceiling and wall were a solid mass of i flames. MT. Bond was at home sick in bed and without taking time to put on his shoes at once got busy to save what he could. It required seY- eral minutes to make the hose con nection and by the time water was secured the Bond residence was be- yond control and the other houses were beginning to catch. In few minutes the A. c. fire fighters were on the scene, but the three houses were beyond control, hence attention was given to the adjoining buildings. MT. and Mrs. Bond lost nearly all of their personal effects. The other houses were occupied by Mrs. Bray and Mrs. Knox who saved the most of their personal effects. A couple of the rooms were occupied by Dave Lloyd and MT. Kencaid, and as their room was located on the side of the house where the heat was the great est, they were unable to save all of their clothing and effects from a good soaking, resulting in consider able damage and embarrassment to Dave.
 The buildings were the property of Mrs. NJ. Brutinal and c. P. Dunn and were being rented as furnished resi- dences. Nothing was saved from the Bond residence, but the most of the furniture was saved from the other two, there being considerable damage from rough handling. The loss will foot up in the neighborhood of S5,OO0 and as far as can be learned there in not more than S400 insu1 ance on the buildings that burned. hence the loss is a heavy one. The fire company again deserves the credit for saving the day, as had the flames spread beyond the three houses the. entire South Clifton row, with the exception of the Shannon store building, would have been doomed, due to the fact that nearly all of the houses are frame and stand close together. Ad- joining houses caught several times |! but were always extinguished by those who were ready for any emer- gency.

 With his clothes soaked and his Sunday hat caved in from the top Dave Lloyd, when seen yesterday just after the fire, said: "Fate is certain ly at my heels and interfering with my single blessedness. I have been disturbed four times by floods, the last one landing my room and effects up against the railroad bridge and now all of my thirty years accumu- lations have gone up in smoke: that's enough for me. From now on 1 am in the market for married life for change" Of course, Dave is now homeless and we imagine that those girls who have a nice home will have preference.
