FIRE WRECKS HOME
Residence OF Mr.. and Mrs. A. G. Ed
wards, $40 North Fourth street, BAD
iy Hurnsd-Less Placed At 5000 to
5000.

The most serious residence fire In
the city In two years resulted in the
virtual destruction OF the home OF Mr.
and Mrs. A. @. Edwards, 40 North
Fourth street, Monday night mourning
loss to house and contents estimated
today at between $4,000 and $4,000.
The home was the property Of Mrs.
Edwards. who is visiting in Chicago,
and Is insured for $4,000. Insurance
carried on the contents aggregated
81, 400.
The origon of the fire has not been
definitely ascertained. Mr.. Edwards
left the house shortly before o'clock
after firing the furnace. Near the fur
mace was piled shingles and lath and
when the firemen were called, two
hours after Mr.. Edwards had left the
house, the furnace room was a mass OF
flames. 1t is presumed that the fire
started in this kindling.
The fire was discovered by J. "
Bass, shortly after o'clock Mr. Bass
smelled smoke and made an investisa-
ton, lie attempted to enter the house
but could not get in. He then turned
In an alarm. Ii is the opinion of the
firemen that the fire had been burning
an hour or more when discovered. The
flames had eaten thru most OF the walls
Of the first floor, making the work
difficult. Two streams of water we're
turned on the flames.
Very little furniture could oe removed
and the rooms on the lower floor were
virtually wrecked. Two roops on the
second floor escaped with little loss
this mainly from smoke. Owing ="
the flames eating their way thru the
floor walls of the building Mr.. En-
wards believes il will be difficult TO
repair the house and it may be FOUND
necessary to entirely rebuild.
Mr.. Edwards placed a value of a3"ut
So. 600 on the residence two story
frame building and $500 on the con
tents. With the total loss placed at
S., 900 to $4,000. and the Insurance ag-
gregating $1,000 Mrs. Edwards sus-
tains a net loss of $1,000 or more.
Mr.. Edwards said today that Chiet
Pigman and the members Of the nre
department handled the joe in good
shape. considering the difficulties under
which they had to work and the fact
that the fire had gained such headway
before being discovered
