when the cry of fire" was given. and
two of the girls became hysterical and
tainted. The others rapidly recovered
from their fright, and, obtaining buck
cts of water attacked the flames and
put them out just as the fire engines
appeared in answer to an alarm that
had been turned in.
I'VE were a bit frightened at first"
said one of the fair fire-f1ghters, but
we saw that unless we took some steps
toward checking the spread of the
flames the building would be destroyed.
We made a rush for all the available
water buckets, filled them and formed
a line up the narrow stairs. We just
did our duty in saving the place"
Because of the fact that the inmates
of the home were placed there for cor
rection for their waywardness, those in
charge refused to give the names of
those who assisted in putting out the
fire.
The blaze is thought to have been
caused by defective wiring.
The building is owned by George
Rector, and was slightly damaged.

walk. Wien he failed to return at
noon inquiries were made, but nothing
concerning his movements could he
learned. His family then thought he
had boarded car for Los Angeles,
and gave up the search, expecting. he
would return in the evening. When
he failed to return further search was
instituted, but no trace of the missing
man could be found. Since that time
his relatives have made every effort
to find him, and yesterday an appeal
was made to the police of this city In
hope that a description of the missing
man might result in his location.
When last seen Koehler was wearing
a light fedora hat and a dark salt
andpeper suit. He is described as
being Sc years old, feet inches In
height and weighs 125 pounds. He has
a light complexion, sandy hair streaked
with gray and sandy mustache.
He seemed to be in god spirits when
he left his home, and his relatives arc
unable to account for his disappear
ance.
