FIRE DESTROYS

DEFECTIVE FURNACE SET HOUSE
AFiRE-NO ONE AT HOME
LATE DISCOVERY.
PRIZE PICTURES LOST
Three Oil Paintings, Extensive Library
and Old Relics Burned-Loss on
House and Furnishings
,o00-Insured.

Fire, caused by a defective hot-ail
furnace, completely destroyed the
home OF DR.. w. E. Creath, 1401 North
Court street last night about o'clock
with loss estimated by DR.. Creath
of $4,000 Although the house was not
entirely burned to the ground entire
reconstruction will be necessary. Three
old paintings, an extensive library, and
a number Of relics, highly priced by
DR.. Creath, constitute as great loss
as the destruction of the home, as
they can never be replaced. DIR.
Creath stated this afternoon that the
loss on the house and furnishings is
practically covered by insurance.
There ives no one at home when the
fire broke out. DR.. Creath was in the
city while his wife was attending a
party The smoke was first noticed
issuing from the house, by motorman
on Court hill street car. He in
vestigated Immediately. Finding the
house to be in flames he kicked in the
door but the dense volume of smoke
that came forth would not permit his
entrance. A passenger on the car ran
to the nearest telephone and sent in
the alarm. The fire had gained great
Roadway and by the time the depart
ment arrived, being delayed by slow
up Court hill, it was impos'
sible to save the home. Everything
on the second floor was destroyed and
the first floor furnishings met, with
like fate with a few exceptions.
Started IN Furnace.
DR.. Creath declares that there is no
question but that the furnace caused
the fire. He has lived in his new home
but week, having entirely rebuilt
the structure that formerly stood
there. His furniture and furnishings
were about all new. The furnace
he had established, has been
causing him more or less trouble the
past week and his feeling that it might
cause a fire, proved true.

DEMAND CAUSES
PRICE To ADVANCE
COAL PRICES SOAR IN OTTUMWA
-NINETEEN CENTS A BUoHEL
is THE TOP FIGURE

Coal at nineteen cents bushel is
being sold in Ottumwa today. No re.
lief from this high price is expected
before next week, according to two of
the large dealers. The Roseland Coal
Co.. Is quoting Mystic, White Ash and
Economy coal at eighteen cents a
bushel by the load or nineteen cents a
bushel by the single ton. The Ottum-
wa Fuel Co., sells Mystic for $4.75 a
ton or eighteen cents bushel, and
Lockman coal for $4.25 ton. 9th
erns & Mowery quote Rathbun and
Mystic coal at $3.50 ton, but will not
sell at this figure any place but their
own territory in East Ottumwa.
The latter firm received advices from
the operators this morning to the ef
feet that next week would in all prob
ability see coal at the normal figure.
H. II. Kammerick of the Ottumwa
Fuel Co. stated that Kansas City and
Cedar Rapids agents were at
Mystic offering SO and 1926 for coal
at the mines. He, too, expects coal to
drop next week.
All dealers say that demand regu.
lates the price of coal, and at this time
the demand is in excess Of the supply.

MAJ. HAMILT TON
IS YEARS OF ACE
VENERABLE CITIZEN OBSERVES
ANNIVERSARY BY DAILY
WALK DOWN TOWN.

Zero weather, slippery walks and
long distance over hills had no ter.
rors for the we'll known citizen and
veteran Of the 36th Iowa, Major Aug
ustus II. Hamilton, who observed his
eighty-flfth birthday anniversary by
walking from his home at the corner
of Woodland avenue and Court street,
to the office of Justice of Peace II. q.
Nosler this morning. The venerable
eX-editor arrived at the justice court
about 10 o'clock and without the use
of glasses read through a number OF
resolutions to which he subscribed his
name as member of the committee
preparing the resolutions, and after
his business down town was complet-
ed, he walked home up Court Hill
with apparent pleasure and no percep-
tible fatigue.
The well known octogenarian was
born in Cleveland, Ohio, in the section
of the city known as Newburg, Jan. 10,
1927. Admitted to the bar during the
spring of 1854 he came to Ottumwa
during September of the same, year,
and has since made this city his
home. For about eight years from
1854 until August 1862 he practiced
law with Hon. Morris J. Williams and
went to the front with the 36th Iowa.
During his career at war he was made
prisoner at Camp Ford, near Tyler,
Tex, and with two others escaped and
walked 700 miles afoot, subsisting on
green corn before meeting up with the
federal army at Pine Bluff, Ark. From
1859 until 1878 he with Gen. Hedrick
published the Courier and later for a
number of years was the sole owner
of the Courier. The hardy pioneer
never fails to attend a meeting Of the
old soldiers or old settlers association
as they are held each year. He has
never been known to ride to or from
his home when on business down
town, claiming that the exercise OF
the walk is worth more than the ride.
