The fire at the residence of Chas Heal is
one to be remembered. 1t appears Mr.. Heal
built a fire late in the evening, after returning
from call to a neighbors' and his son being
out he left it burning and retired. After a
short time his son returned, and likewise re-
tired. They had been sleeping but a short
time when they were awakened to find the
house consumed in flames, and they barely
escaped with their lives. The fire is supposed
to have originated from defective chimney
Only few things were saved, Mr. Heal and
his son We're so excited that they forgot to
save money to the amount of 1915 which was
in trunk, until too late. Mrs. Heal was visit
ing relatives in Rockport at the time, thus it
was rather a sad homecoming, when she re-
turned Friday. 1t is stated that Mr. Heal had
sold his farm and the writings were to have
been done Monday. They have the sympathy
of the community.
