FIREMEN GET CALL
TO MOTT DWELLING

The fire department received a
call at 500 o'clock this morning to
the home Of A. S. Mott, GA Sixth
street, where a fire between parti-
tons in the house was extinguish-
ed with chemicals. Damage was
nominal. The firemen were of the
opinion that the fire may have
started from mice gnawing on
matches that had probably been
carried between the walls.
At Sis O'Clock Sunday morning
the department answered a false
alarm to 260S Fifth-and-a-half ave-
nue.
At 100 o'clock Saturday after
noon the firemen answered q false
alarm to 1927 Second avenue. In
both cases persons are believed to
have sent in calls after surmising
that heavy issues of smoke from
chimneys were evidences of the
homes being on fire.
