Fire completely destroyed the
home of L. N. Swift last Monday
afternoon about 5 o'clock. The FIRE
was well under way before the alarm
was given, but the ERE department
responded quickly. BY the time they
arrived the entire inside of the house
vas ablaze and Il was evident the
building could not be saved 50 they
turned their attention to the adjoin-
ing buildings and prevented the
flames spreading to them. Most of
the furniture was removed from the
house by those who arrived on the
scene FIRST. The cause of the FIRE is
a mystery unless It caught from the
electric wires. Mr.. and Mrs. Swift
left home about eight o'clock in the
morning and the house was on fire
and the alarm had been turned in
just as they we're coming in sight of
town and no FIRE had been left on the
premises in the morning. The total
loss is about $4,000 with 81 900 in
surance.
