Well, some .person was foolish enough to make a fire in a stove alter. the earthquake, for you know the chimâ€" neys are down all over. People that have gas have to edt cold. Anyhow, this person made a fire after the chimmey was off his house, which was near the new Terminus _ Hotel, Ferry building. That is how the big fire started, and it continued _ to spread. You may wonder why | they did not extinguish this fire rig‘t away and prevent it from spreading.‘ but I will explain. When the carthâ€" quake. occurred it broke all ghe mains so there was no water to be secured in the city.

In.reviewing the=case the Coroner pointed out that, according to the testimony of Supt.
