RESIDENCE is PREY
TO MORNING FIRE
HOME OF JESS MCCONNELL IN
WEST COURT STREET COM
PLETELY DESTROYED.

Fire starting from an unknown
cause early this morning completely
destroyed the residence of Jesse C. Nc
Connel at 1910 west Court street and
practically all of the furniture and
other contents burned with it. Mr..
Mcconnell, who was alone in the house
at the time, barely had time to escape
from the burning building In scanty
attire, and. had It not been for the
barking of his dog. he might have
perished i'm the flames.
The house was insured for $1,000
with the Mark Moorhouse Co. and the
furniture for u small amount. The
loss falls heavily upon Mr.. Mcconnell
as he is just recovering from Sc
we're attack Of typhoid fever.
The fire started about 1890 and
was mass of flames even before Mr..
Mcconnell was aware that IL was
burning. His wife and children had
gone to Walla Walla on the evening
train and he had intended following
this morning. Being a member OF
the band. he remained here to play at
the evening street concert. He went
home at 1880 and retired immedi-
ately.
He declares he was awakened about
1880 by the barking and whining of
his dog. He was sleeping in his back
bedroom and, jumping from his bed.
he opened the door leading into the
living room only to have the flames
burst into his face. He hastily put on a
pair of trousers and shirt and ran to
the barn to rescue his dray horses.
Having tied them up, he had just time
to make one trip into his bedroom be-
fore the flames had enveloped that
part Of the house too. An armful o,
bedding and some canned fruit. which
was on the back porch, was all that
he saved.
Flames Kept From Spreading.
A neighbor turned in the alarm but
the house was doomed before the en-
gine arrived. However. the flames
We're kept from spreading to the barn
or woodshed The house was located
just across the stret from the west
end of Roundup Park and, had there
been high wind, the big grandstand
would have been endangered.
Mr.. Mcconnell is at a loss to ac-
count for the origin of the fire. He
had had hot fire in the kitchen stove
during the evening and thinks 1t pos.
sible that q defective flue might have
been responsible. The proximity of
the house to the railroad track and
to the paving plant of the Warren
Construction Co. makes 1t possible that
a spark from an engine might have
started it.
House Was Historic.
The house, which was burned to
the ground, was historic one, having
been built before Pendleton was a city
Some forty or more years ago it was
built upon Thompson street where
now stand the garage Of the Pendle
ton Auto Co. 1t was built by Hon
George A. LaDow, pioneer resident
who was at one time elected to con-
gress and whose death prevented him
from taking his seat. 1t narrowly es-
capped burning in the early eighties
when the frame buildings on the cor.
ner of Court and Thompson burned
but was saved at that time by the hop
vines which covered its exposed side.
The house was purchased by ]. T
Lambirth and moved to west Court
street and was recently sold to Mr..
Mcconnell.
