l NURSES LOSE CLOTHING
 IN FIRE AT HOSPITAL
Failure te Cut Off Current From Electric Iron Results in Blaze
 Causing Damage of $500.

Damage aggregating $500 was sui fered shortly before o'clock last evening from fire which started from an electric iron and destroyed all the contents of one of the rooms in the "home" quarters of the nurses of the Davis hospital, on the fourth floor of the hospital building.
 Because the building is virtually oi
 fireproof construction. the fire did not spread outside the room in which it originated, but everything in that one room was destroyed, includin=, quite a quantity of clothing owned by several of the members of the hospital nursing staff. The inner
 casing and frames of doors and win dows were burned, whi.e the plaster ing was virtually destroyed.
 It was stated that one of the
 nurses had been doing some pressin;! in the room with an electric iron, and left the room for a while, without cutting off the current from the iron. Soon after it was discovered that the room was afire, and the depart
 ment was summoned, to quickly ex- tinguish the blaze.
 The damage to the building is covered by insurance, but the cloth ing and other property of the nurse twas not thus protected. Because of the excellent system of discipline maintained at the hospital, there was no excitement among the patients, none of whom were at any time in any danger because of the blaze.
