HOME IS SACRIFICED
TO FOURTH OF JULY
SKYROCKET CAUSES EARLY
MORNING FIRE
Residence of Iowa Anson Totally De-
stroyed by Fire Started by Pre-
mature Celebration of Ma
tional Holiday
fsneoial to The Herald.l

MONROVIA, July ALREADY one
home in Monrovia has been sacrificed
to the glorious Fourth. Early this
morning the residence of Iowa Anson'
near the corner of Walnut street ana
Ivy avenue, was set on fire, probably
by skyrocket. and totally consumed
A piano and a few articles of furniture
alone were saved.
Nightwatchmen Quiggle and Seams
state that persons in that vicinity nan
been setting off roman candles and
slzyrockets for several hours prior to
the fire, which occurred about 2:SO a.
m. Nothing, however, could be done
to stop the premature celebration, as
fireworks are allowed between midnight
of July and midnight of July 8.
The fire. which started on the roof,
was we'll under way before the nre ue-
partment arrived, and all efforts 10
save the house proved futile. Inc nre
department hose was scattered about
in different sections of the city and
could not be brought together with
sufficient rapidity to Guench the plaze,
A large portion of the hose was FOUND
at the Hotel Scotia, in which small
blaze occurred a week ago.
AS th,,e is no place for keeping either
the fire hoae or the reel, it is exceed
ingly difficult to locate 1t in an emer-
gency. When the fire department
finally arrived on the scene of the con-
flagration it was found that not enough
hose had been collected to reach from
the hydrant to the burning building
The residence of Charles Casner, locat-
ed but a few feet from the Anson
house, was saved, however, by the good
work of the fire volunteers, not a
window in the house being broken.
Mr.. and Mrs. Anson and family have
been passing the past few days at Cat
alma. but were apprised of their loss
this morning. The place was partially
insured.
Several men have been added to the
fire force to aid in extinguishing any
conflagrations which may occur to-
morrow. Paper balloons are prohibited,
owing to the danger from forest fires
Everything else from bombs to torpe-
does will be in order

GIVES EVERY NEWSBoY
SUPPLY OF FIREWORKS

PASADENA. July 4-Every news
boy in the city had a Fourth of July
celebration of his own last night, with
holdover for Monday morning,
through the generosity of Col Baker,

were provided with fireworks and fire
crackers and paid the bill without eX-
amning its size.
Col. Baker is a constant patron of the
newsboys, and they look up to him as
one of their best friends. He usually
remembers them at Christmas, but this
is the first Independence day of which
he has taken official cOgnizance.

say that most of their regular patrons
gave them bonuses yesterday, or re-
fused to take change, in order that the
newsboys might he able to celebrate
