TAKING CARBOLIC ACID
Rash Act Committed Friday at Con-

HEAVY PROPERTY LOSS
Electric Theatre and Pitheon's Va
riety Store Scene of Spectacular
Conflagration

Langdon's fire of Monday night, in
which Third street was the scene of
the confagation was one that for nearly
an hour was menace to the safety
from the flames of valuable business
properties on the west side of Third
street, extending from the First
National Bank corner to the Columbia
Hotel at the opposite end of the block.
1t was between ten and half-past
ten o'clock Monday night when an
alarm of fire brought out the depart.
ment at its top speed to respond to a
call of fire that was under consider
able headway in the rooms over the
Electric theatre that are occupied by
Philip Underwood and family. The
fire would appear to have started from
the stove or defective chimney in
one of the living rooms over the
theatre, and awakened Mrs. Under
wood, who sent her husband to dis
cover that the room that cut off
their egress from the burning home
was in flames, and it was only with
difficulty that Underwood got his
wife and two little children outdoors,
Mrs. Underwood and one of the child
rem quite badly burned before reaching
safety. All of the Underwood house.
hold goods and clothing was total
loss.
The location of the fire and the
slight delay experienced before the
water pressure enabled the playing
of three streams of water on the
flames gave the fire headway that
doomed the Electric and confronted
the department with a fight against
overwhelming odds in its effort to save
the adjoining building, the E. c.
Pitheon red front variety store,
which was afre at the rear end of
the warehouse, with a light wind
tanning the flames to the store front.
1t was soon realized that the Pitheo.l
store was doomed and the efficient
work of the department with a steady
play of water from both front and
back steadily bore down on the fire
and prevented further headway after
an hours hard work.
The salvage from the fire includes
the moving picture machine, palt
of the seats and the piano from the
Electric. MIR. Pitheon saved small
percentage of his stock and fixtures,
but has practically total loss on his
household effects. The Underwood

escaped with their lives are the losers
