Shown by the Full Particulars Of the
Fire on the Rich Premises.

There was something OF serious
fire and narrow escape from wholesale
death from burning last Thursday
morning at the corner Of North Tenn
pie and Seventh West streets. where
L. +. Rich resides. His son Ernest
and wife and four children had come
home after midnight and after putting
up his horse retired with his family.
But the barn with six tons Of loose
lucerne and several valuable horses
caught fire shortly and the large
residence Of f.. Il. Rich Immediately ad-
Joining and several other houses were
In Immediate danger. Mr.. Rich's house
was filed with visitors, including quite
a number OF children. and his niece,
Mrs Fielder. wife OF the Methodist
minister at T0oele. Mrs. Fielders room
was nearest the fire, which woke her
up. and she gave the alarm Both
households were aroused with diff
Guilty. as everybody was" dead tired"
and had not Mrs Fielder occupied that
particular room, the fire would not have
been discovered until both residences
were in flames. and several lives
would have been lost Mr. Rich's house
did catch fire, but quick work with the
local hose saved II. Two horses were
saved from Ernest Rich's barn. and
seven head from his fathers barn, but

with the barn and its contents valued
at 1925. Insured for $3.50. Mr., Rich lost
valuable wagon.
The fire department was promptly
notified, but was delayed by a train
on the crossing Had this delay been
two minutes longer, Mr.. Rich believes
that his entire property would have
gone, and he been out 5000. He urges
that the city council provide for a
west side station OF the fire depart
ment, as the railroad companies are
using their tracks oil night In switch
ing and are liable to obstruct the path
OF the firemen at any time. This may
result In great loss not only to prop
erty but OF life.
