STAMFORD HOME DESTROYED
 BY FIRE THIS MORNIN6
Early Morning Blaze Caused By Spon- taneous Combustion in Pile of
 Straw.
Special to The Farrner1


 Stratford, June 17-F'ire which start ed at an early hour this morning as a result of spontaneous combustion in a pile of straw stored in the attic of a large two-farndly house on Ave nue A in the Avon park district, did 8, 900 /dannage before it was gotten un- der control. The house which was ell by the Bridgeport Land and Title company and was occupied by Carl Heimenstetter and family and Mar tin Fennel1 and family.
 Heimenstetter who occupied the up- stairs apartments makes heavy straw mats used for protecting hot-beds from the frost In the attic he had stored several bales of closely packed straw to be used in the manufacture of the mats. The straw caught fire about 30 o'clock this morning and had con ver&ed the attic into roaring furnace before the family on the floor below was aroused by the heat and smoke The mat maker and his family on realizing that the house was on fire aroused the Fennell family living on the first floor. The occupants of the house seeing that it was useless for them to try to put out the fire unaided teIephoned for the Stratford Fire de- part1nent
 In a couple of minutes the auto chemical manned by Chief Allen D. JGdson, StateI Policeman Rowe Wheel CT, Frank Evitts, Town Clerk H. c. Lcvell Constable Fred Palmer, Will liam Nichols and William Barnes was on the scene, and two streams of wa ter and a stream from the chemical were soon playing on the burning building.
 The fire had gained such good start that it was a. half hour before 1t could be gotten under control. The top of the building was completely destroyed but as the fire was kept from spreading to the first floor it is thought that the building will not be a total loss.
 The fact that there was no breeze stirring at o'clock this morning was all that saved the big 4-famnily house adjoining the doomed house from be- ing consumed also. A space of less than 10 feet separates the two build ings. The firemen kept the other house wet and this also helped to pre- vent the flames from spreading.
 The siren on the a;uto-ch hemical aroused a lot of people from their s1umbers and as a result there was quite 8, crowd[a at the fire.
