an exciting time in subduing a fire at
their home Monday night. Mr.. Hertz
noticed smoke issuing from a staircase

to his aid, they fought heroically and
mastered the flames, but not without
receiving a severe scorching about the
face and hands.
DR.. Kolb was called to attend them
and relieved their pain. The damage
to the building will amount to about
$500. This was an instance when Mr..
