Grnnell July 31.-Fred Proctor's
dwelling was the scene of fire 3yester-
day morning at $50. In filling a gaso-
line stove reservoir oil was allowed to
overflow, forming pool on the floor,
and when the fire was lighted the
match, still burning, was dropped into
the oil, which at once blazed up. An
alarm was turned in, but owing to the
fact that Proctor owns two houses, the
firemen went astray for while. me
fire was extinguished before much
damage was done.
