Last Tuesday morning the residence
OF Mr. and Mrs. John Hohl, in the
third ward, was discovered to be on
fire by Miss Rosa Behuke, neigh
Dor, who had just returned home
from a visit, and gave the alarm.
There was no one at home in the Hohl
residence at the time. Neighbors and
the high school pupils were immed-
lately on the scene and did heroic
work in keeping the flames from de-
vouring the neat little home. Nearly
all the furniture was carried out and
with the chemical engine and bucket
brigade kept the flames from making
any Roadway. Considerable damage
was done by smoke and water. There
was some insurance carried on the
building and contents. Nauvoo's fire
ladies RESPONDED to the alarm and
all the fire fighting apparatus was
taken to the scene. 1t is supposed
that the fire originated from an over
heated cook stove.

ones. We have not heard what our
