At the time of the starting of the fire no one was at home, Mrs. Smith and the smaller children having gone to South Union early In the day to visit relatives, Mr. Smith being engaged in work at his store and Miss Lila Smith among some friends down-town. Thoso'.'"first orriviug at the fire found the house locked, and, receiv ing no response to their calls to the family, some of whom they thought were there, the doors were broken down and the work of removing arti cles of household furniture begun. The salvage was comparatively small, very little having been gotten out of the second story rooms, though the down-stairs rooms were pretty well cleared of furniture. Mr. Smith's loss is somewhere In tho neighborhood of $3,500 or $4, OOO, and we are Informed that he had insurance to the amount of $2, 500-'$2,000 on the building and $000 on the household effects. Mr. Smith had owned this property about a year, having purchased it from the Mrs. Meta Harrison est..te. It was one of the older houses on the Faculty Hill side of town, and was best known as the David Craig place. Mr. Smith and family aro making their home for the present in the cottage belonging to Geo. M. Ansel, this having been but recently vacated by Supt. T. E. Dukes and family. Despite the fact that Mr. Smith fortunately had a fair amount of In surance in force, tho loss will ho considerable, and friends of the fam ily regret deeply their misfortune. Mr. Smith sustained a direct loss of $500 through the burning of that amount of currency. It was put away In a bureau drawer, we understand, merely as a temporary place of safe keeping. It had boen turned over to Mrs. Smith by n party for Mr. Smith, who had not had time to deposit tho sum in bank. Several rumors were current as to this currency, some to the effect that! it had boen saved in a trunk or bu reau that had been taken from the burning building, but this is incor rect. The pieco of furniture that con tained this money'was not among the very few things that were snatched from the flames. -I am expecting a lot of fino fresh osytors for Fridays and Satur days.
