The statement published to the ef- feet that at the fire at the Bullock residence on Wednesday, the roof crashed in at half past ten, and only the front wall of the dwelling is left standing, is misleading, as all the tlon and the roof is in it's accustomed place. The only roof missing is that of the coal shed where the fire origi- mated at the back of the house.
 MT. Bullock said yesterday regard ing the statement that Mrs: Bullock unwittingly set the house on fire by removing a charred stick from the open fireplace in the dining room and placing it in the kitchen, is far from the truth.
