is not exactly known, but it Is sup
posed that it caught from the
kitchen stove, as there was fire in
that part of the house until a late
hour. About O'Clock MIS-. Wei
Ter was awakened by the roaring
of the fire. She ran toward the
kitchen but before she could reach
it the roof was falling in and the
other part of the building had
caught. The family was awakened
and the nearest neighbors were
summoned. Every effort was made
10 save the building but the house
aud nearly all its contents was de-
'troyed. There was light insur-
ance but not sufficient to cover
half the loss. Mrs. Weller is a
widow with large family Of chill
iren, and lived about two miles
east of Plum Run postohice.
