BABY'S CRY LEADS
TO FIRE DISCOVERY
Burning Couch in Orange
Street Home Calls Out
Fire Fighters

Cries of a two-year-old baby led
to the discovery last night of fire
which, il it had gained more headway,
might have done considerable damage

street, where Pasquale Lamanna con-
ducts a fruit store.

ception Of the baby who had been put
to bed in a rear room of the second
story, were in the store on the ground
floor when Mrs. Lamanna was startled
by the frightened cries of the baby.
Rushing up the stairs the mother
opened the door. The dense smoke
almost choked her, but she seized the
baby and cried for help.
Mr.. Lamanna hurried 10 her assist
ence and discovered that a couch Ia
the front room was ON fire. He pick
ed it up and threw It from the win
dow TO the sidewalk.
A telephone call was sent to tho
Friendship Fire Company and the
chemical apparatus responded. The
flames we're subdued with little trou-
BILE, but the couch was destroyed.
The structure is a brick front, three
story building and the third story and
rear are used for lodging.

navigation through points where the
ice is threatening to give trouble.
