Fire Nipped In the Bud,

The sound OF the fire alarm rang oui
over the city Friday at noon and In 9
tew moments the streets we're filled
with excited people.
The fire broke out In the residence
OF u. i. Winans. 1t appears that q
spark from the fiue caught In some
debris that had lodged in one of the
cutters on the , oot. A hole, nearly
two teet In diameter had been burned
through the south side of the roof be.
tore the fire was discovered. VIM.
Stewart had noticed heavy volume
OF smoke pouring out of the chimney
out thought nothing more OF 1t.
The IRE was discovered by j. L.
Henderson, who sounded the alarm.
The department responded Immediate
ly with the hook and ladder truck and
hose cart, but upon arrival found 1t
unnecessary to turn the water on.
Nell Foley, VIM. Sheets and several
others had attached the garden hose,
climbed to the top of the house and
nad the fired under control. The fire
was discovered in the nick of time.
There was west wind prevailing and
II the fire had been discovered a few
moments later the house would have
been burned and the city suffered a
great contlagration.
The damage will not exceed s25.
The property Is fully insured. Mrs.
W'nans, who WAS overcome by the ex-
citement, was taken to the neighbors
and Is regaining her strength again.
After the scare was over Father WI
mans presented the fire boys with a
substantial cash Offering for their
promppt SO vice. This the boys most
thoroughly appreciate.
