Fire Department Makes Report to City
Commissioners That Fire Noz-
zles Had Been Choked
The local fire department reports to
the city commissioners that two of the
fire nozzles used on hose at the fire
Wednesday morning had been choked
hy some one bent on mischief One of
the nozzles had to be uncoupled out
ot which a stick was taken that was
large enough to keep the stream from
flowing through This necessitated
the cutting off of the water and much
delay was occasioned The second
nozzle giving trouble threw the water
in a spray instead of in a solid stream
but under the circumstances the spray
was doing very effective work Exam-
ination after the fire revealed the
presence of a bone domino and one
different from any around the fire
station These were undoubtedly
placed there by some one bent on
mischief and the matter is being in
investigated
The two lines of hose used on the
fire came from the host cart where
they had been placed by the firemen
after the last fire at which they
were used and when placed there
they say they were in good condition
that these obstructions were after-
wards placed in the nozzles and that
to do so the nozzles had to be de-
tached from the hose after it was
placed on the cart ready for service

To Whom It May Concern
This is to certify that my brother
John J Martin deceased who was for
years in the employ of the Southern
Pacific Railway Company in the shops
located in the Fifth Ward of this city
purchased from the Magnolia Park-
Land Company of 910 Texas Avenue
Houston Texas three lots in Magnolia
Park on June 14 1909 paying 1500 in
cash for same and further agreeing to
to pay 1500 per month until the pur-
chase price 49500 was paid in full
In pursuance of this contract my
brother had kept up his payments regu-
larly until the date of his death March
17 1910 and up to that time had paid
to the Magnolia Park Land Company
the sum of 15000
I Further certify that upon the death
of my brother the said John J Martin
the Magnolia Park Land Company of
Houston Texas did execute a war-
ranty deed to my brothers widow Mrs
Georgiana V Martin for the three lots
purchased by my brother and delivered
same to her without charge of any kind
whatever As the present value of the
lots deeded to my brothers widow is
61500 they having advanced in price
15000 while my brother was paying
15000 the lots actually cost nothing
to the estate the increase in price dur-
ing the time my brother was paying on
the lots exactly equaling the amount of
the payments made by him
