Two Small Fires.

The fire department answered
an alarm sent in from ward one
about l0;45 Sunday morning,
from negro cabin, corner of
3rd avenue and First street. No
damage was done, only a Chin
ney in the house was burned out.
The fremen answered another
call shortly after 5 o'clock Tues
day morning from Hampton's
Planning Mill, located in the south
eastern part of the city. The
fire, which is supposed to have
originated from burning shaw
ings in the boiler room, did only
slight damage. The foundation
upon which the boiler stood was
burned, and work at the mill was
delayed for a short time on this
account.

THREE HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
FROM BURNING TO DEATH
Fire Destroys House Sunday
Night and Child is Rescued
From the Burning Building

In an effort to save his three
year-old child from being burned
to death. Ed Winston. a negro
living on the corner Of Sixth
avenue and Eighteenth street
received painful burns about the
head and arms Sunday night
about $3.50 o'clock. and had il
not been for the quick work on
the part Of several men, both he
and his baby would have met
death.
Winston and his wife had put
their baby to sleep at home and
were in attendance at a nearby
church when they were informed
that their house was in flames.
Knowing that his child was in
the burning building, Winston
ran quickly there and upon enter
ing the house he soon found his
baby, but in an effort to leave
the place was strangled by the
dense smoke. Upon reaching
the door he found it closed and
with the child in his arms he
tried hard to open it, but soon
fell to the floor overcome by the
fumes. Another negro entered
the house and did hard work to
rescue the two, but he was also
strangled by the smoke. After
a short time the three were ear
ried from the building, and with
the exception of several painful
burns about their heads and arms
are now doing well.H
The origin of the fire is un-
known, but it is thought that it
was an act of incineration. The
loss was covered by insurance.
Several nearby houses, which
were slightly damaged by the
fire, would probably have been
burned to the ground, but for
the good work of the fremen.
