KeightIy House on Boulevard Badly
Damaged by Fire.


The eight-room Keightly house on
Third avenue, one of Durango's land
marks, this morning was badly dam
aged by fire which resulted from a
defective flue. The house is occupied
by Jack Dieckman, engineer on the
Silverton branch, and family. Short
ly before 6 o'clock Mrs. Dieckman
lighted the fire in the kitchen stove
and then returned to her bed. Later
Mrs. Melville, who rooms there, no.
ticed that smoke was filling the house
and started out to find the source.
She rushed downstairs and found the
kitchen in flames. The fire depart
ment was hastily summoned and re-
sponded quickly, but the flames had
made such progress is required more
than two hours to get them under
control. The north part of the build
ing was badly damaged both by fire
and water and the south portion by
water that it was necessary to use TO
save 1t from burning. The furniture
and contents were almost ruined, and
the loss falls heavy on the DiclSmans
as there was no insurance. As far az
we are able to ascertain, the building
which is owned by William Keightly
of Pueblo, was not insured. II is diff
ficult to estimate the total loss but
it will doubtless be quite large
amount as the furniture was elegant
and had only been in use short
time and the house was worth sew
