surance was carried on the house
hold goods and wearing apparel to
the amount of $500.
The cause of the fire - not known
for certain, but is supposed to have

chohol lamp. The lamp was being
used in fumigating the house and
all members of the family were in
the orchard and berry patch. When
first noticed the house was a mass OF
flames and nothing whatever could
be taken from the building.

diately. and later build house more

IN fact the gIistening form of the
