greater loss.
Different reports were circulated as
to the exact cause OF the fire, some
stating that John and his two young.
er sisters were playing. ond the boy
took a lighted paper and was playing
on a shed on the porch. When he let
the paper fall the mating was ignit

alarm was sent In and the depart.
ments responded quickly and soon
had several streams pouring on the
blaze. The wind was blowing, ond
the blaze soon swept to both the
Walker and Singer houses. From a
statement from Mrs. West IL was
learned that when she left the house
early in the day she left clothes dry

SO dry that they quickly burned. set
ting fire TO the furniture and car
pets. The three small children were
left alone. as the father and mother
were away working.
Other Buildings Suffer.
Everything in the West home was
destroyed with the exception of one

total loss. The Walker house was
damaged only where the FIRE had
burned between the two buildings.
which was slight. and where the FIRE
men had cut into and by water. How
ever. the Singer home was burned to
great extent, as the wind was
blowing directly against IL and the
flames swept over and burned the
side and roof The water did great
deal OF damage TO the latter. but
this was unavoidable. as the flames
looked bad for n time. The Walker
and Singer homes a:c covered by in

There was a slight explosion added
to the already flaming houses. One
young ocolred girl whose name could
not be learned received isjuries when
she tried to save some of the house
