Fire Near BiggerS

Tuesday morning of this week
the home of } A. Luttrell of near
Biggers was destroyed by fire.
Nothing was saved except two
feather beds. The origin of the
fire is a mystery to the family and
the rapidlty with which the flames
spread made saving the household
goods an lmposslbihty. The fami-
ly was at work in and about the
house when suddenly flames burst
out in the sitting room and in less
than three minutes the entire build
ing was on fire. Miss Ora Luttrell,
daughter, barely escaped burning
to death trying to save her organ
from the fire. We do not know
whether Mr.. Luttrell carried insur-
ance or not.
