The two-story dwelling house of Oscar
d. Burnham, situated on what is COM
monty termed Frog Lane, was burned
to the ground at about $50 Thursday
morning. The facts are these: Mrs.
Ru1ham being cold, had gone to closet
in the seaond story to procure some bed
ding, and in someway the lamp which
she held, fell to the floor and exploded.
Mrs. Burnham fortunately escaped in
jury, but as the sides of the closet were
hung with clothes the fre.communicated
to them and was soon beyond control.
1t extended back along the ell and it
seemed sure that the barn which sat
only IL feet from the house must 60.

Holland, Tommie Sawyer, DR.. Burnham,
Beauty Gould, Jute Slbley, Shorty Rich
ards and a great many others whose
names are too numerous to mention,
and here the flames were checked. The
loss will be about 5000; insured for S400.
