MR. H. H. FIELDS* HOME
LOST BY FIRE.
Flames Practically Destroy Build
ing Early Monday Morning.
Fire Department Too Late 1
A few minutes before 5 o’clock
Morning morning fire was discov
ered in the residence of Mr. H. H.
Fields on Macon street.
The volunteers with the city fire
fighting apparatus responded
quickly to the alarm. But the
flames had made such headway
before it was discovered that the
building could not be saved.
The piano and a few other ar
ticles were saved. The house was
practically destroyed, only one
room and some of the frame work
being left standing
The origin lof the fire is not
known. Mr. Fields had risen be
fore 4 o’clock and prepared his
breakfast and then left for his
busines at Flippen.
The fire seemed to have been
confined .vithin the ceiling or
otherwise concealed itself until it
reached sach magnitude that it
burst through to the air. It is
presumed to have caught from the
stove fire in some way.
Mr. Fields’ loss has not yet been
estimated definitely but the insur
ance of $2,000.00 will not cover the
loss, it is reported.
