FIRE DESTROYS HOUSE
ON MECHANIC STREET

Fire burned the entire upper floor
of the house, owned by the city, on
Mechanic street near the intersec.
ton of Laurel street, Thursday night
before it was brought under control
by the fire department.
The flames were leaping 25 feet
in the air when the fire fighters ar
rived. The fire had evidently caught
under the stairway, burning that up
and then leaping to the second story,
doing very little damage in the first
floor 1t is thought to have been Of
incendiary origin.
This is the third time during the
last year that the house has been on
fire, and, as is usually the case, the
third time proved the charm. The
other two fires were put out before
a great deal of damage was done.
The house of o. C. Goodlet, next
door, was steaming from the heat
when the department arrived, and
only prompt action of the fireme n
saved it from destruction.

privilege denied to the natives, often
leaves them penniless for whole
season, and the other bill to protect
