TINES At FIRE
LONG LEAD BURSTED WHEN A
VACANT TWo-sToRY FRAME
BUILDING WAS DESTROYED
LAST NIGHT-NAME OF OWNER
NOT LEARNED.

The large two story frame building
at the corner of Nineteenth avenue
and Gonzalez street, a short distance
from Bayou TeXar. was destroyed by
fire at o'clock last night The
building was not occupied and the
origin of the fire was not learned.
The building was partly destroyed
by fire several months ago, when 1t
was occupied by Ed, Anderson, an in
surance agent.
The fremen had to stretch 1850
feet of hose to get a stream Of water
on the building.
Assistant Fire Chief Riera said last
night that he believed the hose was
cut three times during the progress
of the fire, as the hose which was in
use had only recently been purchased.
Shortly after the hose was stretched
one of the lengths bursted and just
after this break was replaced by new
length another break occurred. This
had no sooner been fixed than a third
break took place. Mr.. Riera said he
believed the pressure in the long lead
of hose was not sufficient to cause
the hose to burst. He said he did not
learn the name of the owner of the
building last night.
