]. g. Crouse's House Burned

Last Thursday morning on J. G..
Crouse's farm just north OF town was
discovered TO be on fire. 1t was en-
tirely consumed with all its contents.
Isaac Stimeling lived in the house.
He was out in the woods at work
and Mrs. Stimeling came to town
to buy some groceries and lett the
four children IN the house alone.
Henry, aged 3, and Mary, aged 6,
went into the cellar to get some
apples. The boy dropped 9 lighted
match into some straw that was used
to cover potatoes. The strawignited
and the children became alarmed
and ran out of the house. Six-year-
old Mary had presence of mind
enough to pick up the baby from
the cradle and carried it out.
The fire put Mr.. Stimcling out OF
house and home. All his furniture
and clothing were burnt. The peo-
