A CLOSE CALL.
A serious confsgration was narrowly
averted in the handsome Highland home
of A. MoNslly, at Altadena, last night.
One OF the servant girls, in retiring,
in some way set fire to the drApery
about her bed, the flames flashing up
and spreading rapidly. In her endeavor
to extinguish the fire the girl was quite
severely burned about the hands and
face. Other help about the house hear
ing her cries rushed in and put out the
fire before any serious damage was done,
the bedding which was on fire being
thrown out the window. 1t was fortu.
nate that the fire was put out early, for
had it gained headway the residence
would likely have been lost, owing to
its distant location from the city fire
department.
