l.. Crowder and occupied by the I. C.
Johnson family. was completely ruined
by fire Saturday evening. The loss
on house and goods will run we'll up to
$4,000, all fully or partially insured
The origin of the fire Is unknown. The
flames caught in the attic, and ap-
parently very close to the roof. There
had been a small fire in the furnace
early in the morning and it might be
possible that the flame had caught
from this and smoulderng along all
day, altho a more plausible reason for
the fire is found in the use of an in
Simultaneous water heater in the bath
room that had been burning several
times during the evening
