FAMILY FROM HOME Most of the Contents Saved—Believed to Have Been Uninsured. About 7:30 this morning the residence of F. C. Moss was discovered to be on fire and in half an hour the building was a heap of smoldering ruins. Mr. Moss and family are now in Long Valley, where he is looking after mining interests. The place was occupied in their absence by Mr. W. H. Cossart and family, who lost the larger part of their effects. The fire started from a stovepipe over the kitchen stove. Mr. A. B. Moss thinks there was no insurance on the house. The desk and private papers of F. C. Moss were lost. As the INDEPENDENT was ready for the press at time of fire we are unable to give further particulars.
