TWO HOUSES
ARE BURNED
Miners Cottages at Adamston With
Contents Are De-
stroyed.

Two houses were destroyed Thurs
day afternoon at Adamston by fire
and two families are homeless as the
result, yes, three families are in
that shape, as one house had to be
rolled over the bank to save 1t from
the flames.
The houses belonged to the Fair
mont & Baltimore Coal & Coke Com
pany, and those burned were occu@
pied by Joe Menard and family and
Emery Ferrell and family. The
house rolled over the bank was oc-
cupied by Mike Rogoski.
The blaze was discovered about
1880 o'clock in the afternoon and
was under such great headway that
nothing could be done to save the
houses. At the time only the women
folk were at home, but when the
alarm was given a number of per-
sons rushed to the scene and sue
ceeded in saving some Of the house
hold goods. The major portion of
the household effects, however, were
burned.
The house dumped over the hill
was not vacated of its contents, ex-
cept that the family got out safe.
The origin is unknown, but it is
believed the IRE started from de-
fective gas connections.
The loss to each family is from
$500 to $500. The company's loss
is $1,000 but is partially covered by
insurance.

shoulder and spanking her a few
times with the other constituted an
assault he was ready to confess to
that charge. The court decided
that such came within the legal in
