ALL GET OUT ALIVE.
Several Persons Badly Hurt in Escap-
ing From Fire.

Ashtabula, O., Jan. 11.-More than a
score of persons were rescued in a SEN
sational manner late last night in a fire
which burned out the four story War
rem building. All of the inmates got
out alive, but several were badly hurt.
The fire started from an explosion in
the Reed furniture store on the sec
ond floor. The flames shot up to the
second, third and fourth floors, which
were occupied as living apartments by
several families. The only means of
escape from these apartments was by
an inside stairway and the elevator,
and shortly after the blaze started both
of these were cut off.
Mrs. Keitzeler. who lived on the third
floor, had to be taken out of third
story window by firemen. Coming down
the ladder she fell 20 feet to the side
walk and was sent to a hospital badly
injured. A number of other persons
were overcome by smoke, while several
were more or less burned before they
were carried out of the building. The
loss is estimated at $4,000.
