A NARROW ESCAPE.
Mrs. Miller and Child Have Close Call
in Burning House.
25 cents,

The residence of William Miller, on
Cora terrace. Walkerville, was destroyed
by fire about o'clock yesterday morning.
1t is said the fire first started in a bed
room where a child was sleeping about
10 o'clock in the evening Mrs. Miller dis
covered the fire and put it out, and took
the child to her own room. The husband
was working night shift al the Bell mine,
and Mrs. Miller was alone. About in
the morning she was awakened and found
her room in flames. She had barely time
to escape with her child when the whole
house was on fire. Owing to the lack of
facilities for fighting fire, those who
turned out could do nothing and the
building and contents were soon destroy
ed. The loss is about 800. The origin of
the two fires under such singular cir
cumstances seems to be much of mys-
terry.
