SEVENTH STREET HQME_ BURNED.
carrie m: CLbSV
At shortly after one o'clock last
Sunday morning, when A. Dubois,
engineer at the electric light plant,
was on his way home, he discovered
the residence of J. J. O'Donald,
west Seventh street, in flames.
The alarm was promptly given and
the department arrived within a few
moments. When discovered, however, the flre had gained, such headway that it was impossible to save
rths^bsildiss.-and- it-w-as- feat-ally-, de-..
stroyed, except a kitchen and a
woodshed in the rear. But very
Iittie of the contents were gotten
out,
Atthe time of the discovery of
the flre the house was un occupied,
Mr. and Mrs." O'Donald having gone
to Saginaw* taking the eight o'clock
train, on Saturday evening*„ But
little fire remained in the sto\ *e when
they left, and from appearances, including the fact that the r» of fell
before the lower portion was badly
burned, it is the prevailing o; pinion
that the chimney must have ieen
defective.
The house and contents we re insured for $1500 in Bennar's agency,
