Fire Destroys Mr. Zebb's Home

FIRE DESTROYS MR. ZEBB'S HOME

The fire department was called out at 8 o'clock Tuesday night by a fire at the home of Jacob Zebbs, 119 Mosely street. When they reached the spot, the back of the house was enveloped in flames and it took some quick work to save any part of the house.

It is not known what could have caused the blaze as no fire had been used in the house except in a gasoline stove at supper time. The family were absent from the house at the time and the neighbors did not see the fire until it had gained great headway.

The roof was burned off the entire house and the back part was almost entirely destroyed. The contents of the house were greatly damaged by water. Mr. Zebbs' loss was partially covered by insurance.
