Gated about six blocks east of the

front room, writing a letter, when,
she believes, the lamp in rear
room exploded, and the entire
place was enveloped in flames. The
fire department responded prompt
ly, but arrived too late to save any,
thing. The house, with it's con-
tents, valued at 81 800, was burned
to ashes. The loss is covered by in
surance.
Alex Nimitz says his loss at the
