The South Sioux Cltv car on the traction company's line now runs down Third street to Pierce and north a block on that street to Davidson's cor ner, landing passengers on the east side of that store Instead of on the north, as before. This change wns made to avoid making extensive repairs In the bridges across Perry creek and to wvoid paying the city large sums for the use of other bridges that had to be used. The new route Is Just as handy for pasrengers destined to tho uptown districts to shop, but for passengers who like to linger along' west Fourth street until the Inst minute It will not be so convenient. The car makes JiiBt aa good. If not better time, over the new route, so complaints are few. About the middle of the afternoon on New Year's day, smoke was seen issuing from the Frank Ammerman home, two blocks west of the com bination bridge approach In the north part of town. The ladles of the neigh borhood gathered at the house and finding that none of the family were at home, they broke in the door Hnd succeeded In taking out most of the furniture and family belongings. Mrs. Ammerman was In the city visiting and Mr. Ammerman was at his work in the Armour packing plant. No clue has been found as to the origin of the Are. The kitchen addition was de stroyed, but the neighbors succeeded la quenching the blase before the . main part of the building was in names. neveral or the ladles were quite badly burned. The damage tu . estimated at about $260. Insurance was carried. Mr. and Mrs. Ammer man are very thankful to their neigh bors for their kind assistance. At pres ent iney are boarding in Sioux City.
