z NORTH HENDERSON
HOMES ARE BURNED
Walters Street Residences
Swept by Flames; Near
by Houses Saved

Two North Henderson houses were
destroyed by fire this morning at
1910 o'clock, and only efficient work
on the part Of the city fire depart
ment saved two other houses as the
flames were famed by a stiff wind.
The houses, one of them vacant
and the other occupied by Mrs. Mag
gle Falkner, located on Walters street
were far beyond a city water con-
nectiOn.
The blaze was discovered in the
vacant house, owned by w. H. Good
rich, and had made such headway
that little could be done. Mrs. Mag
gle Falkner and three members Of
her family were aroused from their
sleep and escaped from their home
as it caught fire Part of their fur
nlture was saved. Mrs Robert Bum
was said to be the owner of the other
house.
Firemen barricaded themselves be-
hind doors to ward off terrific heat
and used booster tank hose to keep
a nearby house wetted down, and
prevented its catching The pump
was supplied with water from a
nearby we'll.
Cause of the blaze was not deter
mined. The amount of insurance on
the buildings, if any, was not stated
by Fire Chief Cooper Ellis.

The discussion hasn't been bitter
thus far. It's been academic.
All the same, the Republican testi-
