BARELY ESCAPED WITH LIVES.
Wesley Oakley's Home in Flames
When its Occupants Were
Aroused
(special to News and Observed

Especial to News and Observer
Durham, N. c., August "a few
days ago the home of Wesley Oakley.
living in Oak Grove township near
the Wake county line, was destroyed
by fire, and the members of the house
hold had narrow escapes, getting out
of the burning hoIle in the dead hour
of the night without saving one piece
of clothing other than that worn while
asleep.
The particulars of this fire were
learned here this afternoon. The men,
bers of the family of Mr. Oakley, con-
sisting of himself an aged wife and
five grandchildren, retired about 10
o'clock. Between l and 2 o'clock that
night Mr.. Oakley was awakened by
the roof of one part of his home fall
ing in. He grabbed his wife, who
could not get about very well, and
carried her to safety. He then got the
five grandchildren-the being chill
dren of d. A. Oakley, from the build
ing. BY that time the building was
a mass of flames and nothing could
be saved
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Mr.. Oakley says that it may have
originated in the kitchen part of the
house, or it may have been of incen-
diary origin. The family was left
absolutely penniless and neighbors
had to furnish them clothing to wear
until they can get new clothing.
