pected by her parents and friends.
The depression that heart complica.

to her final home. She was aged 10
years, 9 months aud IL days.

HOME DESTROYED BY FIRE
The Buildings Of William Evans and
Bernard Zunino Burned Wednesday

Bernard Zunino Burned Wednesday
The fire alarm Wednesday forenoon
about ll:S0 o'clock was occasioned by
the burning Of the residence of William
Evans in Goodwin Canyon in the south.
ern part Of town. The different fire
companies responded quickly, and
were soon at the scene of the FIRE, but
considerable time was spent in making
hose connections and turning on of the
water. owing to the greater distance
from the nearest fire plug, at the Eu-
gene Geraty residence, to the burning
building.
The origin OF the fire is unknown.
In an interview with Mrs. Evans she
gave the SENTINEL the following de-
tails regarding the confisgration:
my dwelling consisted of a kitchen,
dining room and two bedrooms. l was
in the kitchen with three of my child
rem, who were arranging some wild
flowers into bouquets that they intend
ed carrying in the procession of school
children that afternoon. Ny youngest
child, aged three years, was asleep at
the time in one of the bedrooms. In
order to reach the bedrooms il was
necessary to pass from the kitchen
through the dining room. While in
the kitchen | heard a cracking sound
come from the bedroom, but not the
one where the child was sleeping. l
rushed through the dining room, and
on opening the bedroom door was met
with a burst Of fame. / then ran in.
to the adjoining bedroom, quickly
picked the baby up in my arms from
the bed and ran from the house. In
passing through the flames my hair
was partially singed and enc Of my
arms and hands slightly burned. /
had been in this room where l discover
ed the fire but a short time before and
found everything all right.
shortly after running from the
burning house l heard an explosion.
Some say the conclusion was SO great
that il must have been caused by giant
powder. / never knew Of there being
that kind Of powder anywhere in the
house. There was q can Of coal oil in
one of the rooms and the report may
have been caused from that when it
exploded. Besides the loss of the dwell
ing the entire contents were consum-
ed. and nothing was saved but the
clothing we had on at the time. My
husband was not at home when the
fire occurred, being out at Antelope
Valley after horses"
The stone cabin that adjoined the
Evans residence, ogned by Bernard
Zunino. who is at present out working
On a ranch, was completely Quilted by
fire. and all the furniture and bedding
entirely destroyed.
Fortunately only q slight breeze was
blowing at the time or the Curto resi-
dence on the north and the Mcbride
dwelling ON the south would probably
also have met the same fate.
