The "Home Comfort "Boarding
House," formerly the Throne room
ing house, and the Atla3 Cleaning
Works, occupying a small building
adjoining, were totally destroyed by
fire Monday evening, the alarm be
ing turned in about 8:30 o'clock.
The fire, Mr. Mahan, whose wife
ran the boarding house, states, orig
inated in the back room of the clean
ing works, which were all ablaze be
fore the inmates of the boarding
house knew anything about it. The
fire boys responded quickly, but for
s me unexplained reason the press
ure on one of the two lines of hose
used was so poor that it was of little
use. The two dwellings adjoining,
one on each sl'to of the burned
structures, were in great danger for
some time and the one to the south
was quite badly damaged through
the heat and the breaking of win
dows and throwing water into the
house.
The boarding house was owned by
H. L. White aud Mrs. A. G. Barham
(formerly Mrs. Annie Gash) and the
Atlas Cleaning Works building was
owned by E. L. Hacket of this city.
The value of the buildings burned
is problematical, both being some
what aged. The boarding house had
recently been repainted and fitted
up inside and was opened as a board
ing house by Mrs. E. J. Mahan
March 1, after having been closed
for some months. She was just get
ting a good business started and
loses all her furniture, as well as the
personal effects of the family. They
figure the loss on furniture at about
$300, besides the loss of clothes and
keepsakes, etc.
The Atlas Cleaning Works were
owned and run by M. B. Wilson, who
with his family resided in the resi
dence just south of the burned struc
ture. They were living in furnished
rooms, so their loss at their home is
confined mostly to damaged wearing
apparel, etc., by being wet, lost or
destroyed in removal from the building.
There was the usual number of
fool stunts in trying to "save" the
contents of the house south of the
burned structures, furniture being
thrown from the upstairs windows,
etc.
The attention of the crowd was
divided a part of the time between
the fire and a fight between Jack
Bailey and Bill Cottrell, the latter a
barber on Fourth street and a mem
ber of the fire department.
The losses and insurance, so near
as can be learned, were as follows:
The loss on the Home Comfort
Boarding House is about $2,000 on
building and $750 on furniture, with
an insurance of $1,500 on building
and $500 on furniture in the Bil
lings agency. Tho cleaning works
building was uninsured, the policy
having expired only a short time ago
and was not renewed.

General Passenger Agent Scott Visits
Ashland.
J. M. Scott, the genial general pas
senger agent for the S. P. system,
was in Ashland Thursday in the in
terest of his company and called on
the Tidings editor. It is his policy
to keep in close touch with life and
activity along his lines, studying the
needs of the different communities,
and to this end he makes frequent
visits to the cities within his terri
tory. The attitude of the railroads
to the people and the people to the
railroads is changing rapidly. As the
needs of each become better under
stood by the other the real rights of
each are-more fully recognized and
the true relation, that relation which
ought always to have existed between
the railroads and their patrons, is
becoming more fully realized and es
tablished. No railroad can prosper
without the co-operation of the peo
ple, and no community develops to
its fullness without a railroad.
