Fire that destroyed the Spokane
rooming house yesterday morning at
1880 o'clock, and resulted in the pain,
full burning of Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Kar
lin and E. E. Webster, was 4 spec
tacular sight while it lasted, and was
extinguished only after an hour and
half of heroic effort on the part of
both fire companies.
That the fire did not spread to adj
joining buildings was due largely to
the fact that there was no wind. and
that the building was covered with a
corrugated iron roof that acted in a
measure to smother the flames and
to prevent burning brands from fall
ing on other roofs.
The injuries of none of those who
were burned were serious, but all of
them had narrow escapes. Mrs. Kar-
lin was cooking in the kitchen when
a pan of grease caught fire. The
flames were soon beyond control, and
Mrs. Karlen rushed upstairs to call
her husband, who was asleep. They
returned to- the stairway and were
met by a long tongue OF flame,
through which they were forced to
run to safety. Mrs. Karlen's face and
hair were burned, and Mr.. Karlen
was burned about the face and hands.
Their injuries were dressed by DR.. F.
G. Bledsoe.
f. f. Webster, a miner, was asleep
in his room when the fire broke out.

Rhodes, who was one of the bOarders,
endeavored to extinguish the burning
grease with sacks, but was unable to
