Boy Starts Conflagration and Nearly
Burns Himself and House.

Stumbling into the cellar with a
lighted lamp and allowing the flaming
wick to fall into a barrel of crude oil,
little Willie Ward, son of Mrs. Nettie
M. Ward, narrowly escaped death by
fire early this morning at 101 Buchan-

The boy went to the cellar on an
errand for his mother and as he APP

lamp into the oil. A fierce fire fol-

face and hands the boy escaped up
through the cellar door into the house.
The fire ate its way up through the
floor of the first floor, thence up the
sides of the house into the roof. The
dense black smoke from the oil and
the Roadway of the flames made it a
hard matter for the firemen. The
nearest fire plug was three blocks
away.
Excellent work on the part of the
firemen limited the damage to about
$50. The house was owned and oc-
cupied by Nettie M. Ward.
