DESTROYED BY FIRE
The Home of C. F. Bickle Burned Household Goods Saved-Par-
 tially Insured.

About 6::30 Wednesday night of last week the home of c. F. Bickle at 11O7 9th street, caught fire from fiue and was completely destroyed
 Through misunderstanding as to location and the fact that there was no team on hand the hose carts of the fire department were not taken up the Stilwell hill and on to the scene of the fire, although it was only one block from a. fire hydrant.
 Parties turned in and did all they could toward saving the contents of the building. They were very suc- cessful and only a small part of the furnishings were burned.
 It was large frame building of sev- en rooms. The fire could be plainly seen from nearly every part of town as it was located on Stilwell Heights.
 Mrs. c. G. Raff and her daughter, Miss Ruby, were about to sit down to supper when Mrs. Raff noticed some black smoke coming from the roof of the house which is just across the street from her home. While she turned in fire alarm, Miss Ruby ran across the street and told Mrs. Bickle of the fire, which was just beginning to break through the roof. Mrs. Bickle was up to that time unconscious of the danger. She at once called Mir. Bickle. who was down town. and then after getting her three small children out of doors, she and Miss Ruby be- gan carrying the lighter articles from the house. Other neighbors and the firemen got there in time to remove the heavier pieces of furniture.
 The loss is partially covered by in- surance.
 MT. and Mrs. Bickle have moved their household goods into the place known as the Evans property, just a block from their old place.
