DAMAGING FIRE
Sweeps the Home Of Mr.. Samuel Mid.
dleman on Limestone Street at an
Early Hour This Morning.

A disastrous fire swept the home of
Mr.. Samuel Middleman on Limestone
street this morning at 4 o'clock. The
fire was very peculiar one and
originated from a defective fiue.
The fire was discovered by Officer
William Tolle and Mr.. H. G. Pollitt
Mr.. Pollitt was awakened by the smoke
from the fire and leaving his home he
found the fire had made rapid head
way and while Mr.. Tolle turned In an
alarm he awakened the family. The
fire department made rapid run and
were soon busy extinguishing the blaze.
The house of MIR. Middleman is a
frame and the next residence
north is brick. The fire had gained a
great Roadway between the two houses
and II was there that the most damage
was done. The entire front part of the
house on the north side was burned
out and the flremen had very difficult
time to get to the blaze. On the sec.
ond floor they were compelled to lay
on the floor to the fire.
The family of Mr.. Middleman had a
very narrow escape from being burn
ed, they not awaking until they heard
the knocks of Mr.. Pollitt and Mr.. Tolle
Although the fire had almost reached
the bed OF one of the members OIL me
family, he did not awaken.
The fire department did a great work
in extinguishing the blaze and had it
not been for their quickness in an
swering the alarm and in getting
ready TO fight the fire the damage
would have been much more
The damage to the house and to the
furniture will amount to about $25OO,
partially covered by insurance. The
attic was entirely Quilted and the north
side of the house will have to be prac-
tically rebuilt.

MAYsVILLE LOSES
To Lexington In One Of the Best
Played Games Ever seen on the
Local FIOOr-ScOre 30 TO %.

The basketball game in the audito-
rum of the High School between Mays
willie and a team from Lexington High
School was one Of the best games ever
played on the local floor and was
marked with clean playing. The local
boys were outplayed from the very
beginning, although they led the score
at the end of the first half. The Lex
ington team. having had much more
experience and using university tao
tics in their playing proved to be too
much for the locals and they were de-
feated by a score of 80 to 20.
The lineup at the opening of the
game was as follows:
MaysviIle Lexington
Right Forward
Smoot Observation-Disclosures. Shanklin
Left Forward
everett '''..'..s....... 1nomas
Centre
NoOu '''''....'.... bastlan
Right Guard
DOWnlh6 lNOutf
Left Guard
browning ................... Fuller
The first half started with foul
thrown by Smoot for the locals.
Sbanklin of the visitors followed with
field goal. Maysville then tied when
Smoot threw another foul and went
ahead on third one. Bastian then
threw another field goal for the visi.
tors. next five points scored were by
Smoot, three fouls and one field. The
visitors then went ahead on three
field and one foul goal. Smoot then
made another field and also foul.
The half ended at this point leaving
the score IL to IL in the locals favor.
The second half started with tota.
of IL points being scored by the Lex
ington boys. Maysville made two on
fouls thrown by Smoot, then a field
for Lexington, two more fouls from
Smoot and two field goals by Everett,
put Maysville in striking distance of
thee Fayette county boys. But a field
goal from Bastain, foul from Thorn
as, almost sealed up the game. A
field goal from Wood raised local
hopes again but this was cancelled by
one from Bastain and few moments
later the timekeepers whistle blew for
the close of the game.
Maysville certainly made a game
fight for the honors of the contest but
fortune did not smile on them. The
game was very clean, and was certain
ly fast and well played.
