FOUR HOMES LIN
 SOUTHS|DE ARE
 BADLY DAMAGED

The home of John L. Donnelly, president, of the State Fedora tion of Labor, and the entire contents of the house, upon which there was no insurance, were destroyed in s2,500 fire shortly before o'clock yes terday afternoon, when three other homes were also damaged.
 The fire is believed to have origin ated in the Donnelly home, where bread had been set to raise near a fire. Mrs. Donnelly, who was visiting across the street with neighbors, does not believe there was any fire in the stove but fire department officials are inclined to think there must have been some smouldering coals Mrs. Don nelly stated that an odor of leaking gas had been detected by her about the house for several days, and is of the opinion that this is what caused the flames to reach such alarming proportions in the few moments prior to her observing them from the house of neighbor nearby. By the time the fire department was notified, the flames had gained such headway that any effort to quench them was un- availing.
 | Besides the Donnelly home, which was at r East Lincoln street, the | other half of the same building. occu- pied by the family of F. Isabelle, at l9 East Lincoln, was also completely destroyed. The roof of the house ad- joining, Fl and 23 East Lincoln, was burned off and the side of the house blistered and burned. The alarm was turned in from box IF at 2:44 o'clock
 On the way to the fire the cranf from No. fire truck was lost.
