 THIS MORNING

 of Apartment Lost

Vern M. Soley, Manager of Races Drug Store, is in St. Ann's Hospital, severely burned about the head and face as the result of fire which broke out at 5 o'clock this morning in the Grand Apartments on Tri- angle Place, in the suite shared by Jack Metzgar and Edward Towns ley. MT. Townsley was also burned and all clothes, belonging to him and to MT. Metzgar were destroyed, with the exception of a garment or two hanging in the bath room, as was the furniture of the apart ment.
 The blaze broke out in the living room. where MT. Soley was sleeping on the davenport and quickly swept through the clothes closets. and into the kitchen destroying wear ing apparel and furniture before aid could be reached The bedroom was scorched but not as seriously damaged as the remainder of the apartment
 Awakened by Smoke
 Md. Soley and Mir. Townsley were awakened by the smoke and rushed to the window opening on the side of the building. MT. Soley jumped to the alleyway a floor be- low;5and turned in the alarm before he rushed to the hospital in a taxicab while MT Townsley de- scended from the window by a ladder brought from a nearby building. MT. Metzgar was on shift at the Alaska Juneau when the fire took place.
 Quick work on the part of the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department was all that prevented the entire building from being completely de- stroyed, according to c. F. Brown, whose apartment is on the first floor, below that in which the fire occurred. Much of his furniture was damaged by water used in ex- tinguishing the roaring flames
 Cause of the fire has not been determined by either the firemen or the occupants of the apartment. The exact damages caused have not yet been determined, but neither MT. Metzgar or MT. Towns ley carried insurance on their per sonal effects nor did MT Brown have fire insurance on his furnl- ture.
