NEARLY WRECKED
 HOME TOPUT OUT

IDITAROD.-When Si Atwell re- turned to his home on Railroad avenue on Tuesday last, after an absence of twenty-four hours or more, he was confronted by scene that was a re- hinder of the work of the Seattle dry squad in it's search for liquor in a sus- pected building. Holes had been cut with axes in the floors and in the sides of the house, carpets and furniture had been piled indiscriminately, and altogether the place was a sorry-look- ing wreck. But at that Si probably considered that it was better than hay ing no home at all.
 On Monday afternoon an alarm of fire brought out the volunteer fire de- partment. with chemical engines and paraphernalia for subduing any kind of confagration. The fremen were di- rected to Si Atwell's home where smoke was seen issuing from various portions of the building. It was learn ed that the moss under the house had caught fire, evidently from a flying spark, as there was a strong wind blowing. Neighbors had been busily pouring water on the incipient blaze, but it was hard to reach, and consid- erable destruction was wrought before the fire fighters were satisfied that the blaze was extinguished.
 The discovery of the blaze before much damage was done was fortunate, as the brisk wind would have made it difficult to confne the fire to the one building.-Pioneer
