FLAMES DESTROYED
 THREE DWELLINGS

Sunday night at about ll;5u o'clock smoke was discovered aris- ing up toward the skies fro u one of Dr. A. G. Rounseyille's houses on East Sheridan street. An alarm was given and soon a dozen or more volunteers were seen pulling and pushing the hose carts te the direction of the blaze.
 When the hose was connect ed with hydrant for some reason or another it was some minutes before the water had pressure enough to have any effect on the flames. By this time Dr. Rounseville's other house to the right and Judge M.J. Rounseville's house. a few feet west, caught fire and had a good start before the water works were in proper action. Then it was too late to save the buildings.
 One of the houses was occupied by Levi Britton and Mexican fam. flies occupied the other two houses. Very little of the furniture and other contents of the three houses were saved.
 Dr. Rounseville places his loss on the two houses at two thousand dollars and tho loss on furnitur-, about two hundred dollars. Ha carried only one thousand dollars insurance on the two dwellings.
 Judge Rounseville's loss is placed at one thousand dollars with five hundred dollars of insurance.

stated intervals run a tank car over

may want to lay in a new stock. We
have noticed in different state papers
accounts Of oil sold direct to con-

intimated that the barrels were short
