FLAMES START in ROOF
Loss to House is Covered by In
surance Fire Discovered
by Man Passing
House.

The residence OF A. e.. Aia.lass. f2G
High, and one of the finest homes in
the city, was badly damaged by fire
this afternoon. The flames were con.
fined to the third floor, attic and roof
but the damage by water extended all
over the house, and probably was
greater than that caused by the fire
itself.
The flames were believed to have
started either from a defective flue
or from defective wiring near the roof
! The fire was first discovered after 1t
had broken out on the roof and after
1t had gained large Roadway DR.
Frank M. Fuller, 217 High street,
discovered the fire as he was passing
the house, shortly before 200. He
notified those in the house and an
alarm was sent in. The second alarm
was sent in shortly after.
By the time the department had
arrived, after making quick run, the
flames were leaping high from the
roof, and dense clouds of smoke were
pouring up from the house The blaze
had spread, by this time, to practic-
ally all parts of the roof, making a
fire that was bad to handle.
Three lines of hose were connected
at once but the water pressure was
very low, and was a great hindrance
to the firemen. Streams Of water
from the ground did not reach above
the second floor, and the pressure con-
tinued low until the fire was under
control. The firemen entered the
house and fought the flames from
close range.
The roof OF the house contains many
gables, and the ceiling between the
attic and the roof is plastered over,
making the fire doubly hard to fight
The fire department did some fast
work and had the flames under control
inside of half hour. The flames con.

Damage From Water.

The damage to the furniture was
silght. All the furniture on the first
ana second floors was removed before
the water or flames had time to do
any damage to 1t. Quite bit of
furniture on the third floor and that
in the attic was damaged.
The water pouring through from
the upstairs badly damaged the cell
ings and walls of the lower floors.
All the damage was covered by insur-
ance. Mr.. Matless was unable to
place an exact estimation on tbs
damage done to the house and furnl-
ture at the time Of the fire, butt will
amount to several thousand dollars.
The house Is three story brick
building, and one of the finest and
most beautiful in the city. The furn
ishlngs were also very valuable. Stu.
ated on the southeast corner OF SIC
ond and High streets, the house
stands on one OF the highest locations
in the city
Mrs. A. G. Matiess who was in her
room at the time the fire was discov.
cred, was carried to the residence OF
Y. 5. Stanbro at Second and Concert.
Most Of the furniture was taken u
the residence Of P. L. Dysart, next
door. A large crowd OF men, wome1
and children witnessed the fire, msn5
of whom assisted in removing the
furniture.
Sends Back for Hose.
Chief Anderson sent back to Station
NO. for more hose, and 10 the Tenth
street station for the hook and ladder
truck. When it was seen that the fire
pressure was going to be too low to
do any good, additional ladders were
needed in order to get the men han
ding the hose up to points of vantage
from which they could train the lines
into the blaze. The pumping station
of the Keokuk Water Works Company
was practically just below the burning
dwelling, about four blocks. 1t is stu
ated at the foot of Concert street, and
the Matiess house is near the head OF
High street.
Mr.. Matless was called up from his
office at the Husikamp Brothers Shoe
factory and came up Immediately. He
expressed himself as well pleased with
the way in which the f1remen were
handling the stubborn blaze. Whether
the fire was due to a detective flue
or some defect in the wiring OF the
house. Mr.. Matless could not say. The
wiring had been examined in the fall
he said.
