Rendered homeless by fire, Isaac

lance this side OF Chesapeake Junction.
Their two-story frame dwelling was
erected on the savings Of years. This
morning about Z o'clock the husband
and wife arose and a fire was kindled
by which to get breakfast. Half an
hour later the kitchen caught fire. the
flames spreading rapidly 10 all parts OF
the little house.
Gibbs and his wife tried to drag their
furniture and clothing from the struc-
ture, but saved little. Their cries for
assistance brought out several neigh
5Ors, who formed a bucket brigade and
the fire. They saved several small arti-
the fire spread 50 rapidly the rescuers
dared not venture near the house.
The Gibbs house was far removed
from fire apparatus headquarters. and
Chief Belts men were not called out
because Of the Roadway the flames had
made IN less than half an hour the
house and contents were completely de-
stTOycd. The damage is estimated at
