BURNS;
WILL Be REBUILT
Henry Roberts Owned the
Building, Which Was o.
cupied by Ben w. Green.

Fire loss aggregating $1,000 was
caused about 7:45 o'clock last night
when a four-room cottage at Fifteenth
avenue and Hickory street was totally
destroyed, together with all its con-
tents. The loss is only partially COW
cred by insurance.
The house was owned by Henry
Roberts, and was valued at $1,000. In
surance to the amount Of $500 was
carried by Mr.. Roberts, who will re-
build at once. Ben w. Green, who
occupied the house, valued his fur
niture at about $500, and carried no
insurance. None of the furniture was
saved.
The origin of the fire is not known,
as all the members of the Green
family were away from home when
the fire was discovered. Neighbors
saw the flames, after they had en-
veloped the entire interior of the
building and had burst through the
roof. The fire department prevented
adjoining buildings from suffering
more than trivial damage from heat
which blistered some of the paint.
