The residence of Dr. and Mrs.
Allan Bell, corner of Grand avenue
and Walnut street, Lincoln Park, was
destroyed by fire with most of its
contents shortly after o'clock Tues
day afternoon. resulting in a loss esti-
mated at fully $4,000. Dr. Bell in en-
deavoring to save some of the fur
nishings of the building was painfully
burned about the legs and inhaled
smoke into his lungs that necessitated
the calling of physician The trou-
Bile is still giving him considerable
annoyance, although he expects to be
all right again in the course of a few
days.
The fire is supposed to have origi-
mated from a defective fiue in the
kitchen which communicated to the
roof There was no one at home

were not discovered until they had
made considerable headway DIR. Bell
sas at work on the ranch some dis
tance from the house and Mrs. Bell
was in Florence at the time. As soon as
the fire was seen DIR. Bell hastened to
the house and gave the alarm to the
neighbors. who hurried to his assist
ance. Although the upper part of the
structure was enveloped in flames
they managed to get the piano. some
clothing and other articles out of
the house. which were carried to a
place of safety. Practically all Of
the furniture and household belong
ings were destroyed.
Owing to the dry weather and the
great heat from the burning building
it was with the utmost difficulty that
