SEVERAL FAMILIES
DRIVEN OUT BY FIRE
Two Frame Dwellings Are De-
stroyed on Douglas Ave
nue.. Kenilworth.

Several eolOred families were driven
from their homes about i O'Clock this
morning by a fire which destroyed two
frame dwellings on Douglass avenue,
KeniIworth, and for a time threatened
the adjoining houses. The blaze started
IN the house occupied by Augustus
Moten, and was probably caused by an
overheated stove in the kitchen.
Moten's daughter, who WAS sleeping IN
the kitchen, was awakened by the
smoke, and she aroused the others IN
the house. After an unsuccessful ef-
fort had been made to smother the IRE,
Moteu turned in an alarm from box SSS.
In the meantime the flames had spread
