LARGE HOUSE BURNED R N
PEARSON RESIDENCE ON WEST
SIDE. RECENTLY REMoDELED,
-. --.,- ALMOST TOTAL LOSS

Fire last Sunday practically de-
'str0yed the G. w. Pearson home at 2O4
Seventh street southwest, known as the
old Misbe house. The alarm was turned
in at 1920, the fire truck responding
Immediately.
Had all the fre-fghting apparatus
been functioning properly, the fire
would no doubt have been put out be-
fore nearly as much damage would
have been caused. As it was, so much
time was lost before real effective work
of extinguishing the blaze was brought
about, that the fire was almost beyond
control. In the first place, the portable
chemicals carried on the fire true k
failed to work, it later being learned
that the filters containing the chemi-
Gals were too hard to be broken. The
truck crew Immediately strung hose
from the hydrant at the corner OF
Broadway and Third street west, dis
lance Of over five blocks. When the
hose was connected up and all was in
readiness to turn on the water, no
water was forthcoming, the hydrant be-
ing frozen up. It was then necessary
to string hose for another block and a
half to the hydrant west of the West
hotel.
All of the household goods were
saved, as we'll as some stormwlndows,
doors, etc. The house had recently been
re1nodeled and Mr.. Pearson had insured
it last week for $4,000. He valued the
place at $4,000.
