A fire originating from an over
heated metal smoke Jacket which ran
through the roof of the kitchen at
the home of Mrs. A. C. Frye on West
Pearl street, created considerable ex
citement and caused the department
to make a lively run to the location.
The department was not called Into
active service, however, except to
work with buckets and the flames
were put out without any heavy loss.
The roof of the kitchen was burned
off and the inside of the kitchen bad
ly charred up. It Is likely the total
loss will be about $100 which is cov

of the firemen however, saved them

be paid the firemen for their excel

most difficult part of the fire to Bub-

From those who were In the neigh

the opinion Is gained that It start

that vicinity a few moments be

out this theory.
