 Squad A and Hose Company No. ,, ForcstVille, were summoned to the home Of Charles Janich at the corner Of Stevens street and Stafford avenue on Saturday afternoon short ly before o'clock to cXtinguish a chimney fire which had broken out. The fircmcn put it out with the use Of chemicals without damage and returned to their stations. Again. on Saturday night, the fire men of the same companies were called to the same house. but this time to cNtinsuish a blaze which ! had cnvclopcd the entire structure. ! The building was hopeless mass of i flames and the firemcn turned their attention 10 the saving of nearby . buildings. which were endangered by the fierce flames. The JanicE place burned to the ground and nothing vas saved.
 1t was at first believed that the fires were caused from a defective chimney. but that belief was dis pelled when Chief John Hayes re ported the fire at police hcadquar- tcrs and requested an investigation. Although it will be difficult to de terminc whether a fire bug was busy or not, the inquiry will be con- ducted. The building was demolisl- = ed with an estimated loss Of S5,0U0.
