SICK WOMAN IS
CARRIED OUT OF
BLAZING HOUSE
Rescuers, Who Later Save Valu-
ables, Are Arrested by Sus-
piciOus Policeman.

Rescued from a sick-bed by her son
while her home was burning about her,
Mrs. John M. Kilgour is recovering
from the shock today al the residence
of James J. Mcclure, whittier she was
carried to safety from still another
home threatened by the flames.
The fire completely Quilted the home
of her husband, John NJ. Kilgour, at
so Clinton avenue, with a damage of
$4,000 and half burned the residence
of Morgan Barker, at 80, just beside.
who lost $4,000, including valuable
paintings.
The blaze, which started just before s
o'clock from a defective hue in the
Kilgour house, was not subdued until
after 8.
Flames shot through the Kilgour
house, igniting curtains In half a dozen
rooms. the doors of which stood open.
When young John Kilgour ran out to
give the alarm fire had spread over
half the residence.
ImpIores Aid for Mother.
In the street Kilgour came upon
Fred Conklin, a pharmacy clerk.
MY mothers sick In bed on the sec
ond floor" he yelled to Conklin.
Come on and help me carry her
out"
The two young men hurried back
into the house, lifted Mrs. Kilgour,
who kept her courage admirably. and
bore her gently to the street, swathed
in quilts.
They carried ner several doors away
to the home of Mrs. Louise Shugard, al
"a Clinton avenue. AS they returned
a second time George Dreher, standing
in h doorway of the Barker house,
called IN them for aid In rescuing a
closetful of silver plate.
They entered the Barker house and
found the flames had burst through
the four-inch partition that separated
1t from the Kilgour home and was
fairly eating up a valuable collection
of paintings n other works of art on
the second floor.
Arrested ms Suspects.
They grabbed the silver and rushed
to the street, only to be arrested by
a policeman, who suspected they were
thieves. Neighbors Identified them and
they returned for more v%aluables.
When they came dow the last time
Dreher was fainting n Conkling car
ried him out in his arms. Meanwhile,
despite the seven engines and the host
of 1remen, the blaze was gaining.
Once 1t wen threatened the Shugard
residence, where Mrs. Kilgour lay, and
she was placed in the family auto and
to the Mcclure home. two
blocks away.
The fire was finally confined to the
Kilgour and Barker houses, though lit
tie of the furnishings in either was
saved.

Charles j. Ffaden, Of Atlantas
prominent lawyer and student Of
economics, who has just lYturned

These things do not require proof,
for they are facts patent to those
who observe.

only to himself. He has been for
some years on the bull side because
it was the winning side. The govern
