FIRE NEAR WILTON
Destroys RESIDENCE
Home of Benjamin T. Davis is
Burned. Narrow Escape
of the Children

The house of Mr.. Benjamin Z. Davis,
near Whition. was destroyed by fire last
Friday night. The fire broke out be-
tween seven and eight o'clock. and be-
fore Mr.. Davis. who is a sawyer. had
returngfh from his saw mill. At the
time 81 thetire his young wife and two
small children were the only occupants
of the house. The children had been
put to bed. and Mrs Davis was await
ing the return of her husband and step
son to give them their supper. Mrs.
Davis went to the sitting room for few
minutes. leaving two lamps burning in
the kitchen. On her return she was
alarmed to find that one of the lamps
had exploded and set fire to the ceiling
of the room. With great presence of
mind she set to work to extinguish the
flames, and thought she had done so.
but on going out doors she was Mortified
to see the flames bursting through the
roof. The flames were seen about the
same time by MIR. Robert Shockley, who
lived half mile distant. Mr.. Shockley
ran to his stable. and jumping on a mule,
rode him at "a break neck speed to the
assistance of the heroic woman. The
youngest child was brought out of the
burning house wrapped in the bed
clothes in which its mother had put il
to sleep only a short time before. With
the assistance of a colored man they saw.
ed some of the furniture. but the great
bulk was destroyed. None of their cloth
ing was saved, and besides their furnl-
ture they lost all their canned fruit, two
new carpets which they had just pur-
chased, IA new bicycle, and numerous
articles. When Mr. Davis returned. in.
stead of IA smiling wife, and steaming
coffee and hot supper. which he had
been looking forward to. he found dis
tracted wife. his children in pitiable
state. and IA heap of smouldering ashes
where his home had stood Mr.. Davis
is hard working man. true friend. a
helpful neighbor. and this last misfor.
tune. following II series of calamities. is
IA severe stroke to him. Much sympa.
thy is felt for him and his family in his
loss. The insurance on his house was
$50, which sum will not cover one half
of his loss.
