things that can be replaced with money. and of course all were de- strOyed.
 When Mir. and Mrs. Runs left, MT and Mrs. Ross moved in from the Ward ranch where they had formerly lived. All their belongings were burned, so that in a financial way probably they and the Runs family will feel the losses more than the Fowlers. Mir. Fowler said last even ing that he estimated his financial loss at somewhere between s2,00O and g.. 800. less the $500 insurance, and the losses of Messrs. Runs and Ross he could only guess at but he thought the total would be between $3.O00 and $40OO. In one respect Mir. and Mrs Fowler are quite fortunate. They have lived at the Hotel Adams much of the time for several years, until a few weeks ago when they moved temporarily to Palm Lodge. The greater part of their personal be- longings: that is. the effects for present day use, were at one place or the other and safe from the fire. They intended leaving for Los An EtltS NpllEnNs buN lpN iiiehg hFh eN"'iN until tomorrow night as they will have to go to the ranch this morn- ing. Dr. Norton in returning from the ranch notified them at Palm Lodge. but there was nothing to be gained by driving out last night.
 Concerning the origin of the fire Mrs. Ross said that there was a very small fire in the kitchen stove when she left the house, but everything seemed all right and she was only gone a couple of minutes when the flames were seen breaking from the, roof It is supposed for want of a better. reason, that il was the re- suit ofI a tdefectlve flue, or aHspark from the chimney lighting on the roof. However. the iehimneSs were supposed to be in, good. condition4 When Mir. Fowler bought the prop-l erty. the old chimneys were torn; down and built new. that being al part of quite extensive repairs hei made on the building.

The loss is estimated at between three and four thousand dollars. divid- ed between MT. Fowler and family, WA Runs. who has served him as foreman for d long time preceding June. when he went to California for a vacation. and MT. and Mrs. George F.

Bennitt x Co. agency It is not known whether Mir. Runs and Mir. Ross carried insurance, but it is supposed they did not.
 Dr. J. C. Norton chanced to be at the ranch on professional business when the fire occurred. He and MT. and Mrs Ross left the house only a few minutes before and went to the corral several hundred feet away.

This building was not harmed. nor was any other building on the ranch. w A, Runs and wife have lived in the ranch house for several years. Last June. when they decided to spend the summer in California. they stored their household effects in one room. These are entirely destroyed. A part of the house was stored with furniture, pictures. rugs sewing ma chine and a long list of general belonging to MT. and Mrs. Fowler, as well as great many things cherished for their sentimental value. that belonged partly to MT and Mrs. Fowler and partly to the father and mother of Mrs. Fowler. Among them were many pieces of old furniture, a mahogany secretary that had been in the family for favorite chairs of the old CT people. etc. etc. These had little of no financial value. but were even more greatly treasured than

NEARLY KILLED OWN CHILD

Had it not been for second thought Mrs Fred Ryan would have killed one of her own children by giving it teaspoonful of laudanum yesterday morning. Although a label on the bottle warned against giving more than two drops, Fred Ryan suggested to his wife that she give the child a teaspoonful to make it sleep. In the court of Justice Parker yesterday Mrs. Ryan stated that she had two children from a former marriage and has only recently married Ryan, and that since her marriage to Ryan he has been cruel and unjust with her children, generally answering their wants or complaints with kicks and other beastly practices.
