LOSS BY FIRE IN WASHOE
 
Mr. J. T. Byram's Residence and Contents, Valued at 
$1800, Totally Destroyed Tuesday Evening -  No Insurance
 
Fire destroyed Mrs. J. T. Byram's residence in Washoe Tuesday evening, 
together with all its contents, causing a loss estimated at about $1,800, no 
part of which was covered by insurance.  Among other things destroyed by the 
flames were a piano and some other furniture belonging to Mrs. Frances 
Russell, Mrs. Byram's sister.
 
Mrs. Byram was not at home at the time the fire broke out and the cause of it 
is not known for certain, but it is thought possible that a lighted match 
might have been dropped on the floor by one of her little nephews, who was 
staying at the home of his grandparents nearby and had gone over to the house 
a short time before to get his hat.  Mrs. Byram's children were the first to 
notice the smoke coming from the house and at once gave the alarm but the 
flames were so far advanced by this time that it was impossible to save the 
structure or its contents.
