FIRE DESTROYS KIEF RESIDENCE LITTLE SAVED FROM EAB1.T MORNING BLAZE; INSUR ANCE COVERS LOSS Fire, which started about eight o'clock, completedy destroyed the Kichard Keif home just across the river south of Gold H ill this (Thurs day) morning. The flames had gained fierce headway, before Mrs. Keif noticed them. She and her sister were alone in the house, Mr. Keif having gone to his mine on Galls creek. Because no phones were near, Ihe Gold H ill fire department could not be reached immediately. The alarm was finally spread by calling across the river to the Coy service station, and Seth Coy informed Fire Chief Kell, who at once took Ihes city’s chemical truck to the scene. By that time, however, the house was a mass of flames, and ef forts were concerted on saving the garage which was nearby. Origin of the fire is not certain, but it is thought it started around the flue in the kitchen, or in the wood shed which adjoined the kitchen. The property was covered by in surance.
