Monday morning about 10 o'clock.
E. D. Sabin's new house, south of the
First ward school house, occupied by
VIM. Martell, had caught fire in some
unknown manner and it was with
difficulty that any of the furniture was

up town. There being no well nearby
and no hydrant within a half mile,
the fremen were powerless. The loss
