Supposed to be Of In
cendiary Origin.
CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE

Heavy Smoke.

With a roaring fire in the cellar,
which was used only for the storage
of coal and kindling, also blaze on
the first floor of the building at the
same time, with no connection be-
tween the two, 1t seems evident that
deliberate case of arson was the
cause of the blaze Saturday morning
at the cigar store and pool room at
No. 1920 Main street, conducted by
C. K. Elite.
The night police while patrolling
upper Main street. discovered the
] fire at 2:10 O'Clock, Saturday morn
ing and sent in the alarm. When the
department arrived, the interior Of
1 the building was mass Of flames,
and just as the hose was laid and
preparations made to throw water,
the big plate glass in the front fell
forward to the sidewalk with a crash.
being shattered into fragments.
1t took the department two hours
to put out t blaze, which was pref.
ty well distributed throughout the
basement and the first floor of the
building. Three lines OF hose were
laid, from the hydrants at Tenth, Elev.
enth and Twelfth and Main, and one
line of hose was used In front and
two at the rear of the building.
The gas meters in the cellar were
melted to pieces by the blaze and the
open gas pipes shot out flames until
after the fire was quenched and the
service turned off.
A family named Anderson, residing
on the second floor, had narrow es
cape, on account Of the smoke. Mr.

made their escape down thes back
stairs during the fire. The flames
burned small hole through the cell
ing, but did not reach the second floor.
The Anderson home was considerably
damaged by smoke.
These seems to be no question that
the fire was of incendiary origin, for
when the department arrived there
were two separate fires going on. The
cellar was blazing and there was also
a fire on the first floor at the rear.

The cellar was used only to store coal

After two hours work, the last EN-

Tommy Burns announced last night

that he had definitely retired from the

English fighting dates to Jack Lester
the Calumet boy, whom Burns has
recently taken under his wing. Burns
injured his knee in a lacrosse game
some time ago, and while he thought
that it would eventually get well
enough for him to fight, he now finds
that it is too weak to stand the strain
of a ring encounter. But he has a
more than take his place--a man he
picks as the champion of the world at
no very distant date.
