SMALL BLAZE.

At 7:40 this morning the fire depart
ment responded to call that the
residence of John Males at 2001 East
Second avenue was on fire. The boys
responded quickly. but by the time
they reached the house the fire was
out, thanks to the efforts of one OF
the neighbors, Tom Murphy. who put
out the flames with steady stream OF
water from garden hose.
The fire originated around the flue
in the kitchen. Between the roof and
the ceiling dust had collected and
caught fire probably from a spark or
possibly ignited from the heat Of q
big fire. The blazing dust set fire
to the wall around the flue, and there
was a very generous fire in less time
than it takes to describe.
Mr.. Males was down town, SO Mrs.
Males called Mr.. Murphy. whose pres.
ence OF mind and rapid action pre-
vented the fire from spreading, and
as result, there was little or no
