MESA
HOUSE AND CONTENTS
 TOTALLY DESTROYED
Flames That Started From Unknown Origin Played Havoc With
 Home Of Mesa Resident.

shortly after r. o'clock Thursday night fire broke out in the residence of Jesus Gonzales. at the corner of First and Mill streets, and in a very short time everything in the house, with the exception of a few articles of clothing, was destroyed. The house was four-room frame. very neatly constructed. and comparatively new. Just how the fire started can only be conjectured. as the inmates were alseep and the first warning had was when the flames and smoke drove them from the place, half-dressed and scarcely awake. That the family was not suffocated by the smoke leads to the belief that the fire started in the kitchen, that portion of the residence being d mass of flames when the inmates were aroused.
