HOSkINSON HOUSE.
DAMAGED BY FIRE.

The Hoskinson house 0n Fourth
Avenue North was damaged by fire
yesterday afternoon to the amount
OF 81, 900.
The house had just been vacated
by l. E. Wilcox and Mrs. V. D. 81
mons was moving in.
A fire had been kept going in a fh$
place il one Of the rear rooms anu
in some way fire was communicate
ed from this fire place to the bales
and boxes OF household goods with
which the room was filled.
The fire had gained good Roadway
among the boxes and bales by the
time it was discovered. Mrs. 81
monds smelIed smoke and shouted
tire, Guy Gets who was papering a
room opened the door into the
room where the fire was and saw the
entire room was ablaze. He ran a
round to the dining room and turned
in the alarm.
The fire spread between the par
tftious and up the stairway and got
into the attic. The woodwork and
walls in the back part OF the house
were badly damaged by fire and the
remainder of the house was damag-
ed by smoke and water.
Roy Gets, who was working in the
second story started to carry the
tools to a window and in passing
@ru the hall the second time had
his hair badly singed.
The Gets brothers with a crew of
men were working in the house pa
pering and re4decorating and Lew
Eron and his men were working in
the basement on the plumbing when
tie fire started. None of the men
had. any idea that the house was on
fire until Mrs. Simonds shouted
fire"
The house is fully insured and the
policy is carried with the Taylor &
Scott Company The household goods
were not insured and it is estimated
that they are damaged to at least 80
per cent of their value. Both fire
companies responded to the alarm
and did good work.

accountable. The most willing player
may have off days when his vices
are in control.
OF course college ball players are
very human, and many of them have
these faults Of disposition. But they
are under closer control by college
sentiment and college spirit.
There are hosts OF gentlemanly
players on the ball ground who never
completed high school course. Ma
ture gifted them with a good dispo-
sition and a loyal spirit. But they
have TO put up with many cross grain
ed comrades. College life works a
lot of nonsense cut of boy. That it
is producing a disciplined body Of
young men is suggested by the fine
appearance that college players COM
monty make on the ball field, and
the big crowds drawn to their conte.
