HOUSEDESTROlED
BY FIRE TODAY
Blaze Started in Basement
and Was Undetncted
For Long Time.

Only the frame of James Lauries
house on Water street remains as q
result of a fire which started there
abuot eleven o'clock this morning.
The fire started in the basement Of
the house occupied by Booty Shelton
and other negroes. The structure
was the last one in the street. The
cause of the fire has not been learn
ed either by the fire department or
the occupants of the house. People
in the upper part of the house and
the soft drink store, which occupied
the Water street front did not dis
cover the fire until it had gained
considerable Roadway. They made
an effort to get as much of the fur
niture and other valuables out Of
the house as possible, but only a few
articles, including pieces Of furni-
ture and bed clothing were saved.
The fire call was answered by the
members of the East Side fire de.
partment and Chief Watkins of the
Cenertal fire station. who with the
assistance of several East Side citi-
zens, worked hard in fighting the
flames. At o'clock this afternoon
the fire was under control, but fire
men were still using water on the
building to keep the fire from
spreading.
