Neighbors Come To Rescue.

A serious confagration was averted
by the prompt action of neighbors at
the home of Geo. Kellogg yesterday
morning about ten o'clock. Mrs.
Kellogg who was at home noticed smoke
issuing through the floor but was unable
to locate the spot. 1t kept getting
worse, and becoming alarmed she called
f. G. Miller to her home. He started
an investigation and found that par
titon in the basement had caught fire
from the furnace. The plaster laths
had burned away and the fire was work
ing its way up along the studding.
After the fire was located it was only a
small matter to extinguish it. Very
little damage was done to the house,
but Mrs. Kellogg was badly frightened.
