HAD NARROW ESCAPE.
Fire In a Tenement House at SouthhrIdge,
Mass, Menaced MANY Lives.

Southbridge, Mass. March 3.-Quick and
efficient work on the part OF the local fire
department prevented a possible loss Of
life In a FIRE which broke out early today
in a tour-story wooden tenement and
business block on the main street.
The building was occupied in the three
upper stories by half dozen families and
on tho ground floor by storekeepers. Two
alarms called out the entire fire depart
ment.
A patrolman who forced his way to the
upper stories notified the sleeping occu-
pants. All escaped. though those on the
top floor whose means OF exit were cut
of. were obliged to Chamber to the roof
of the adjoining building. from which
place they were removed by the iremen
on ladders. One elderly woman appeared
at window at the top story. She was
too III to leave by passing TO the adjoin-
inkg roof. When a long ladder finally
was raised the woman was half uncon-
scious. but she was resusiciated later.
The approximate loss is $4,000, partly
covered by insurance.
