trouble was the cause. His wife OBJ

The handsome residence of H. o.
Penick, vice president of the Chart
ton National bank, together with all
the contents, was totally consumed
by fire few days ago. The servants
quarters adjacent to the house were
also destroyed. The loss is estimated
at about $4,000, with about $4,000
insurance. The origin of the fire is
not known, as there was no one at
home, the family having gone out on
a camping expedition. Among the
contents of the home were wedding
presents valued, collectively, at
$4,000. A serious accident occurred
during the progress of the fire. One
of the firemen, George Wiltsey, a
groceryman, was assisting in support
ing one of the walls of a wood house,
which was being removed to prevent
the spread of the fire to the barn,
when it became too heavy for the
men, and they let loose and ran. . In
some manner Mr.. Wiltsey tripped
and fell and the building fell on him,
breaking his left thigh bone near the
middle, dislocated his left shoulder,
sprained his hack and otherwise
bruised him, and 1t is feared he has
sustained internal injuries.
