volumes of smoke pouring from the roof
of his house. He at once started for the
rooms where his wife and four children
we're sleeping, and with great difficulty
got them out before the whole building
was ip flames. The wife and children
were taken across the way in their night
clothes, everything else belonging TO the
family being burned in the ruins.
The fire caught from the hot funnel
and made quick work OF the building.
Only for the prompt work of the fire de-
partment the Wigwsm livery stable and
Rendslrs jewelry store would have been
DESTROYED.
Mr.. Blake has been unfortunate in the
extreme. About a year ago, while at
work in the mill, pulley broke and iu-
jured his foot, and he has been a cripple
ever since. Tie went TO work again We'd
nesday, and the next day had the ends of
two fingers taken off by accident, aud
the next morning was burned out Of

owned by Jake Israelsou and not insured.
The total loss is about $1,000.
