One man, thirteen horses and one
COW were burned, and twenty persons
had narrow escape from death early
one morning recently at Aberdeen in a
fire which destroyed the Atlantic house

ty reached the proportions of a small
panic. The majority fled in their
night robes. Several remained behind
to gather their belongings, but the
smoke and heat drove them from the
building in the scantiest of attire.
Matt jenkins, stable employee, slept
over the stable. In the excitement he
was overlooked and his charred re-
mains we're found in the smoking ru-

escape he fell through the burning
floor and was too badly hurt to make
his way out unassisted.
