Fire..

On Monday afternoon last, about half
four o'clock, the summer kitchen attached to
Mr.. Marshall A. Gaugh's dwelling on Lom-
bard Street was seen by Leighbor to he
enveloped in fame. The property was oc-
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. d. A. Deshlcr; Mr..
Deshler was attending to his duties as Mr..
d r. Rouzer's miller and Mrs. Deshler had
left home but few minutes before to 60 to
the home of ncighbor about hundred
yards distant. The fire spread with grea,
and Mrs. Dcshlcr had narrow escape with
her life as she was caught upstairs (whither
she had returned at the alarm of free by the
rapidly advancing flames.
Being nearly half mile from the Town
Hall where the fire department is housed, by
the time the alarm reached the uptown
fremen and the apparatus got to the fire
the entire dwelling was enveloped and Mrs.
Lantz's property adjoining was being threat
ened seriously.

men held the fire about where they found it
preventing it from breaking through the side
next to Mrs Lantz's property and keeping
the latter thoroughly wet. The heat was
sufficient to burst the glass in the garnet
windows, but the fire meyer got the slightest
start. Another mas been added to the now
long list of well managed fires by Guardian

and the members worked out his orders like
veterans.

considerable and everything IN the cellar il
intact except from injury by water. No
one in ten at the time Of the arriva
of the fire apparatus would hav'
ventured to predict that as much as a corner
post would have been left standing.
We are panied to know that neither thu

Indefensihle.

There are those who advise permitting the
entire destruction of building, if on fire
and certain to be seriously damaged. Of
course this applies only when the property
is insured; if not insured, then every effort
should be made to save as much of it as pos
sible
Now, il you will follow this argument out
in full it can ouly mean this: that there is no
moral obligation to protect an insurance
company.
Those who care to take that position can
do so-its their affair-but we deny the
righteousness Of it.
