Fire Fighters.

June Goth, 1909.
70 he Midland Journal There would have
been an extensive confiagration here on Sun
day morning had the good people not have
been alert and prompt in responding to the
call of fire II and the light from the burning
Of our barn, which was struck by lightning at
4.15 a. m. At that time a terrible crash came,
evidently from the Zenith, the bolt striking
the building at or near the middle, and it was
afiame in less than one minute. Immediately
aftert the flash E. w. Kirk bounded from his
bed, and to window seeing the fire ffrst
called in stentorian tone fire firel Bessie
McVey hearing the call was down and out inn
mediately, having run two wagons out and was
rescuing the horse from the building before
any other member of the family arrived, fire
by this time dropping all about the interior
and exterior. All this happened in three min
utes or perhaps less from the time it struck.
The neighbors responded very promptly with
buckets, sprayers and ladders, each one, APP
parently, knowing just what to do and did it.
The building contained SO much combustible
matter it created an intense heat and being
near the house and other buildings itrequired
the most strenuous efforts to save them. II
the house had got beyond control it is clear
that several other buildings would have been
consumed, including e. w. Kinks and Alfred
Kirk Jr.'s. Great credit and praise is especial
ly due to the noble young men who assembled
to the garret window from the inside, remov-
ing the sash, and took turns in keeping the
cOrnice and misunderstanding well dampened
with water the heat being so great as to
break the glass, and no one able to be at this
place only for few seconds at time.
The ladies turned out not through curiosity,
but came to help, coming from all directions
with buckets, and i'll some instances with
water, from quite distance. The boys were
very helpful. Alfred Kirk, Jr., came bare
footed and without hat and set to work
saving property, in fact, he Charlesand John
Reynolds were the leaders of the noble band
who worked SO gallantly in the garret window.
think this event explodes the theory that
being between telephone and telegraph lines
or close to wire lines are protection to build
ings. Although it may have been special
bolt sent directly by God, to strike just when
it did, Ny mind has been directed several
times lately to what might have been the con-
sequences if the firewood should get on fire in
the woodshed a part of building Something
impressed me STRONGLY that there was too
much combustible matter if a fire should occur
in some way; but Inever had an idea that it
might be struck with lightning. some times
think that grain cradle with scythe, that
was suspended directly in the cone of the
building attracted the charge.
Although surveyor for an insurance COM
pany, was only carrying one half insurance
$780, valuation s40O building, get $3.50, on con-
tents less that $50.
We have been fortunate, and we hereby
extend thanks to all who aided in preventing
disastrous fire. 1t seems wonderful that
more buildings were not burned considering
the proximity.
Yours Truly,
