The Washington Republican Washington County Friday March 27, 1896 Another Fire. Burning of houses is becoming so common here of late that people fail to realize any excitement in the matter. Yesterday morning a dwellling belonging to J.S. HART was destroyed by fire, located in the south central part of the city. About 4:30 a.m. A.H. FOOTE noticed a flickering light playing on the walls of his bedroom, and looking out of the window he saw that a house just across the street was on fire. He dressed hurriedly and gave the alarm, and went to the burning building. He said no one was at home and he broke the door down and soon found his way up stairs, but found the fire was all on the roof outside. He said he could have extinguished the flames if he had a ladder to have got on the rood, but a ladder that was at the barn the night before had been removed. Mrs. M.S. RODOCKER was living in the house, but was not at home, having spent the night at the home of Mrs. Ed. WRAY and there had been no fire in the house since early in the morning. All of the goods were taken form the house in time to be saved, but Mrs. RODDOCKER haed $40, two $20 bills in a tin can, which did not prove to be fire proof and the money was lost. We understand the house was well insured.
