81 The residence, together with the
household goods Of M. M. Emmack,
northwest of town, was totally de-
stroyed gby fire Sunday night about
midnight. The house was practical
ly new, with new flues, having been
rebuilt last fall by Roy Beavers and
recently sold to Mr. Emmack. Ev-
identity the fire started from a heater,
as the entire room sNas atire inside
when Mr.. and Mrs. Emmack awak-
ened and had gained such Roadway
that they were able to save only a
small amount of clothing and bed
ding. The loss is partly covered by
insurance but is sure a. great misfor-
tune for Mr.. Emmack.
