FLEMING STREET
RESIDENCE BADLY
DAMAGED In FIRE
CAUSED BY OPEN JETS ON
GAS STOVE: DAMAGE Es-
TIMATED BETWEEN $500
AND $4,000

Fire caused by open jets On q
gas stove in residence owned
by the Porter Estate at Gil Flem-
ing street, was the cause of the
alarm which sounded at $40
o'clock yesterday afternoon from
Box 1872 at Fleming and Simon
ton streets.
One of the gas jets was turned
on, unlit, Chief Baker said. and
the other was left on lit. IL was
discovered in an examination fol-
lowing the fire. The hole in the
wall was burned Immediately be-
hind the stove and it was only
there that the fire began, he
said.
Apparatus from Stations Num-
Der / and 3 responded and de-
partment members found the
front part of the building in
flames, which required prompt
action on the part Of the deport-
ment to quell.
After working for about one
hour further signs of combustion
were found and an investiga-
ton showed that the damage
amounted to between 81 500 and
$4,000, The building carried ST.
900 insurance.
Many strangers assembled at
the scene and it was the general
opinion that the work of the fire.

BIKE HAZARDS
ARE TAKEN UP
COMMERCE BODY SENDS LET.
TER TO SCHOOLS
OF CITY

Key West Chamber of Com
merce is sending to the prin-
cipals of the Key West High
school, Division Street school
Harris school, Convent, St
Joseph's school and Douglass
school, the following letter call
ing attention to the bicycle
hazards. The letter was ordered
at the December of the chamber
on motions by George A. Patton
and Guy Carleton:
AT the regular monthly meet
ing of the Key West Chamber OF
Commerce, held December 9th,
rr,ich concern was expressed at
the constant risk to which school
children were exposed while
riding bicycles.
while the improper driving OF
automobiles and trucks is partly
accountable for this potential
tragedy which hovers over the
community, it was felt by those
present that the lack of kno%i-
edge of the rules of the road,
and also lack of consideration
and courtesy on the part of the
bicycle riders, was the largest
contributing cause to the risk OF
life and limb which is daily oc-
curing.
''Will you in your official capa-
city, try to secure consideration
of this matter by the riders who
in some cases, at the risk of their
lives, needlessly annoy car driv-
erS and create a most unfavor-
able impression in the minds of
visitors? II might be impressed
upon the bicycle riders that the
bicycle is a vehicle, subject to
vehicular laws and that courtesy
and good craftsmanship would
do much to reduce the ratio of
deaths which are occurring at
the present time throughout the
nation at the rate of four every
hour.
= am instructed to assure you
Of our cooperation If we can as
sist you in any way.

GROUP CATCHES

AT BOCA CHICA
VISITORS FIGHT FURroUsLY

INTO BRAIN ? TIMES: FIND
is YOUNG

A group of winter visitors
among them Bill Bremen of
Ohio and Larry Kittinger of
Hugeunot, My. and a Philadel-
phia party had the time of their
lives holding a huge shark hook
ed off Boca Chica bridge yester-
day and finally landed the mon
ster.
The group which were having
a wonderful time bringing in 80
cabaIlo jacks in a school where
there were thousands" using
red and white plugs and speckled
minnows got the idea that fishing
with the live jack for bigger
fish" might be exciting. So over
board went live jack hooked up
on a large Jewish line, the line
donated by a Key West resident.
Art Murray noticed the line
going out and grabbed it. Such
was the pull that he shouted for
help and Grenner, Kittinger and
others nearby leaped to his aid.
On the first run the shark nearly
carried the group off the bridge.
Staying always near the top the
monster in one case leaped
straight out entirely clear of the
water. Getting close to bank
il succeeded finally in breaking
the line. An unidentified Cuban
boy then scurried down the
bridge and when the shark OPEN
ed its large mouth nearly drop
ped the hook in.
When the shark was finally
landed after seven shots were
fired into its brain it was seen to
be of leaden color with an ivory
gray belly. II had seven rows of
teeth and is believed to be of the
leopard" or dangerous variety.
Cutting the belly open the group
found Is young in her, all of
whom were promptly killed.
Moving pictures of the catch
were made and the shark is at
present in town on exhibition at
a trailer camp.

Presaat Cemetery Bought For Only $500 In 1847
CEMETERY, CAST up MANY BODIES
sss.ssssssss -

parcel of land for the amount OF
$4,000.
In the year 1852 the City de-
eided to sub-divide part of the
Cemetery grounds into one hun
dred lots and to post them for
sale. These lots were IS by IS.
The first lot sold on the 7th OF
February, 1852, was to Captain
Francis B Warrington, who was
born in New York City, April /,
1904. and died April z, 1887, at
the age of 83 years. Historian
Jefferson b. Browne states it was
a coincidence that Captain Wat
-hngton also built the first house
-on Duval street. This house is
still occupied by his immediate
family, and though built in the
early thirties, weathered the
great hurricanes of 1885, 1846,
1909 and 1910. and sustained lit
tie damage. II is located on the
northeast corner of Duval and
Eaton streets.
The last cemetery lot, No. 100,
was sold August IL. 1865, to Fer
nando w. Roberts, who is still
living in Key West, a respected
old resident.
The first recorded burial on
the island was that of James
johnson, who died on May 8,
1929, at the age of so years. He
was supposed to be buried in the
early cemetery, which was in
back Of where the Marine Hos
pital now stands but the remains
were later removed to the F. A.
A. NJ. lodge plot.

tirely through the right thigh.
