BURNED OCT THIS MORNING
AT ABOUT i O'CLOCK.
An alarm of fire was turned in lu-t
night from the residence of G. W.
Fuller, thut gentleman having been
awakened by the smoke. The blaze
proved t" be in the Bonham < undy
Kitchen, about the middle of the West
side of the square. The fii-t alarm
turned in rau cl tt great ringing *»
the fire Ml, a* it "as at once recog-
nize! I that the fire might prove n j
nous one. In a few moments a fr-
ond alarm was turned in, but in the
meantime the volunteer fire depart-
ment had gotten on the scene.
From the best the Favorite ean
gather the Muse started on the south
side of the building, Just west of a pa **
I tit ion which almost divides the house
|into two equal rooms, the we t room
or kitchen being the .smaller. It did
j not take the firemen long to see they
were up against .something that might
prove the must disastrous fire lor
some time, as it is Bonham history
that the most destructive conflagra-
tion ever here started in the middle of
this very block in the brick house
owned by the late T. K. Williams, and
which burned both ways, north and
south, to the bricks on the respective
corners.
When the firemen gained an en-
trance they could hardly see anything,
the smoke wa so dense. A glance at
the wreck since "hows the building to
be cleaned out inside almost complete-
1 Iv. and tie roof
The ceiling far in the cafe we •
from their mooring" and fell
to the floor. The beautiful talking
inachine is practically ruined. The
>oda fount with its superb plate gla-s
I mirror is a wreck. The chair- and
other furniture in the house are ab-
solutely worthies-, and the < ene get-
worse every time it i- viewed by one.l
Asked as to how much insurance hi
|carried, Karl Rubin-on, the proprietor,I
stated he did not know exactly, that ;
he had the company carrying the p< ’
icies looking into it for him. The
building was owned by Joe f>• !
marly of this city, but now of Pari-
It could not be learned ju-t how much
insurance he carried.
This is too good a time f**r tin |
