LESLIE HOME BURNED
Fire Early Yesterday Morning Destroys Palama Residence
The Leslie residence in Palama, near the Kamehameha School, was almost totally destroyed by fire early yesterday morning. The fire started from the bedroom occupied by Lieutenant Sam Leslie, who had been reading while lying in bed.
In some unknown manner the mosquito netting on the bed was ignited from the lamp, and the fire was communicated to the woodwork before Leslie could extinguish it. The nearest water is nearly half a mile away and the building was past saving before the fire department arrived. Seeing how hopeless the attempt to stay the progress of the flames was, the Leslie boys confined themselves to saving what furniture they could. The loss was almost total, and will amount to several thousand dollars. It is not known whether any insurance was carried, as Lieutenant Leslie's parents are in Kona, and cannot be reached by wireless telegraph. ["The Hawaiian Gazette".
