In the chimney and ran to the nearest |

Ward being the only member of the fam |
lily at home, went to her aid but by the |

The roof was on fire. The flames worked |
rapidly and before help reached them the
roof was ready to fall in. Only a few |
articles were saved. We understand the |
building was insured. The family are
living at J. II. Wards for the present. |
Much sympathy is expressed in their |
misfortune.
