The hose was connected Ito the near-
est hydtant and :1 str cam- was seen
playing on the fire, but it was over an
hour before the flames could be entire;
1y subdued as they had eaten th'eiI)" way
all over the roof.
'While the firemen fought. the flames
othels w ith the assistance of neighbors
who had gathered at the scene, went
to work and carried out the furniture
from the lower floors.
By this means a considerable amount
of parlor furniture which otherwise
would have been ruined by the-water,
was removed to a. place of safety.
The origin of the fire is a mystery,
but it is thought that it was caused by
a defective fine, or from a brick falling
out of the chimney.
When the flames were first discover-
ed they were coming out of the roof
near the chimney.
This morning a fire was kindled in
the furnace, which heats the house,
for the first time this winter and as the .
flames were discovered shortly after
this fire was started it is surmised that
the flames originated from the fire‘
made in this heater. '
The whole upper part of the 115.155.
was destroyed, and the walls of the ’
lower pat. r 11 etc so thoroughly soaked
with water as to make the destruction
complete. ' ‘ '
The house belongs to the estate 0f the
late Charles W. LeIC'ount and is occu—
pied by David A. Rose, the contractor
and builder. ' ‘
It is said- that builder Rose had
"and' that the money was left in His
trousers pocket upstairs and was de—‘I
'stro‘yed' 1n the fire.
There was an insurance of $2, 000 on
with Walter L. ”Wilcox, while Taylor

furniture. I t
