CLOSE CALL FOR scoBLow.
Citizens Rescue Northeast Merchan
From Burning Building.

The prompt action of several neighbors
probably saved Solomon Scoblow of 80
Seaton street northeast from suffocation
at an early hour this morning when fire
broke out in grocery store on the first
floor of the building.
The fire was discovered in the grocery
store conducted by Nh. Scoblow about
2:35 O'Clock this morning. A number Of
neighbors were awakened and, hastily
dressing left their homes and went to
the place. When they arrived the store
was full of smoke and the fire was fast
gaining a Roadway. Hearing that Mr..
Scoblow was on tie second floor. entrance
was gained to the place from a bay win
dow on the second floor. Mr. Scoblow
was taken from the second-story window
TO an adjoining house.
The front doors OF the place were then
forced open by the citizens. In the mean
time an alarm was sounded from box 6S1,
to which the fire department responded.
Within a short time the flames were
under control and were later extinguished
after about $500 damage had resulted to
the stock and building. The fire is
thought to have originated by rats or
mice gnawing matches in the store.
