THE: M|CMURRAY
RESIDENCE FIRE
Not as Much Damage as Was at First
Anticipated by Yesterdays
Blaze.

Not quite SO much damage as an
ticipated resulted from the fire at
the L. A. McMurray home yesterday
afternoon at which time the house
caught fire from the blow torch u.s.
ed by painters in removing old paint
from the structure. The damage
was mostly confined to the attic and
the second floor, although damage by
water was considerable upon all
floors. To obviate so much of the
usual destruction by water, holes
were chopped in the floors, letting
the water into the basement where
last night foot of water stood for
Ia time. The delay necessitated by
the painters climbing down the long
ladders for pals Of water, when they
found that the flames had gone in
side the walls through a crack, and
their having to climb to the attic Of
the home with the water was what
gave the flames Roadway and from
the immense volume of smoke which
enveloped the home, 1t looked to by
ISLANDERS as If the residence were
doomed. Everything in the attic was
destroyed by the flames, and in
c1uded much Of value in the way of
old relics, heirlooms, furniture and
the sort. Possibly not more than
three rooms on the second floor will
have to be replastered and several
floors will have to be mended.
The loss on the house is fully COW
cred by insurance and the amount
Of the damage will probably be ad-
justed within few days.
