Fire today destroyed one of the principal residence blocks in 
South Bisbee and for a time threatened the destruction of the 
whole town. Mrs. W.R. Fairbanks, who lived in a two story house, 
was burned to death but this fact was not discovered until some 
time after the fire was under control.

Help was summoned from Bisbee and Lowell to aid in controlling 
the flames.  The property loss is nearly $25,000,about half of 
which is covered by insurance.
