COCHRAN RESIDENCE BURNED
One OF Evening Shades Best Residences Went
Up In Smoke Friday Morning.

The fire alarm was sounded about
II o'clock Friday morning, when
the residence occupied by A. W.
Cochran took fire. The flames Or
ieinated from a spark from a fire
in the yard, where the family wash
ing was being done. A large num-
Der of citizens responded to the
alarm, but the fire was so far ad-
vanced that it was impossible to
check its progress, and the building
was quickly consumed,
The building was the property of
Mrs. Alice Cochran of West Plains,
NO., and was one of the best resi-
dences in town. The property was
insured for $1,000, which amount
would be only a beginning in re.
placing the house. The household
goods were the property of A, W.
Cochran, and were a total loss, with
the exception of a cooking stove, a
safe, a bed and a few dishes, Mr..
Cochrans loss is something like
$500, and he carried no insurance.
