An hour later Mr. Reld walked In
to the front room from the kitchen
ami as soon as ho opened the door,
smelled smoko. Tho closot was
ablaze.
Tho alarm was turned In and a
shout of "flro" turned loose on Cen

a companion hurried Into tlio house
and brought a tub of water from tho
kitchen and threw It on the flames,
chocking tho hluzo until tho chemical

Mr. Reld turned his first atten

from the closet. There was, hanging
up, a seal skin coat valued at $X00,
ho said, that had been given to Mrs.
Held In Alaska by Miss Helen Goultl.
There was a trunk or linen and many
lantern slides from AJaska and a

The loss consisted mostly of wear

the damage to the hoiiko wus not
