He has bought tho land In behalf of

Fire of Unknown Origin Causes
$6,000 Loss Early This
Morning.
By a flro of unknown origin, tho
Ferndnlo browcry was partly destroy
ed and tho adjoining house, belong
ing to Mrs. Annie Wolf, and occupied
by Joe Houser, completely destroyed. J
The flro occurred at 3 o'clock nnd
hnd gained considerable headway
when discovered.
Tho loss Is eitlmntcd nt upwards of
10,000 by Mr. Houser, Thoro wus
$4,200 insurance on the property. Of'
this, 3,000 Is on tho browory build
ing and equipment, 11,000 on tho
houso nnd $200 on tho fixtures. Tho
brewery wns owned by Mr, Houser
nnd his partner, John S'clnbrun.
Tho flro wns discovered by Mr.
Stelnbrun who roomed In the Houser
homo. At nbout 3 o'clock, ho wna
nwnkoned In his upstairs 'room by
tho crackling of flames and on aris
ing nnd opening tho door was driven
back by the smoke. Ho was forced
to mako his exit through a window
and nblo to only get his trousers.
He nwakened Mr. Houser, who
with his family occupied downstairs
bedroom. The alarm was turned In.
Messrs. Stelnbrun and Houser state
that both the resldonce nnd brewery
wero on fire when they first saw It.
Parties on the scene later declaro tho
flro must have originated in tho
tlwolllng from n defective fluo or
something and spread to the brewery
or a shed alongside of It.
Fire Chief Travor says that the
firemen were handicapped In combat
ting tho flnmes by lack of wntor pres
sure. Tho firemen wero on the scene
within about flvo minutes after tho
alarm was turned In but tho presBiue
was so poor that water cculd be on'y
thrown about twenty-five f-et beyond
tho end of the hose and wnrcely to
the second story window, Finally tho
firemen secured a team and got the
old flro engine down after about forty
minutes and by pumping from tho
hydrant were soon able to extinguish
the flro and snve a big portion of
the browery. Had they had this
pressure at first, Messri Traver and
Keating say the fire loss -von Id not
have been 'a third of what It was.
It Is expected that the department
will take
rap with the city council
again the
necessity of getting more
