ROmov0 Frantic HobroW Father ana
Child From Smoke Filed Room.
Special to Times-Republican.
Dubuque. Jan. 13.-Awakened half
choking by the smoke which filled his
sleeping room in his home, 367 Sixth
street, about s o'clock, Saturday after
noon, Sam Silverman, q Hebrew rushed
frantically to upper window OF his
two story brick building, and in the
Yiddish language shouted at the top OF
his voice for help. His baby boy Moritz
was also in danger. and the old man
had visions of horrible death In the
blaze. Passersby in the vicinity at the
time thought the man mentally unbal-
anced. and Furthermore were unable
to understand his wants without the
aid OF an Interpreter. With Moritz IN
his arms he pleaded in vain to be res
cued from his perilious position. A
Union electric trolley wagon with
force Of linemen finally happened by.
and saw smoke curling along the win
dow sill. The wagon with Its aerial
ladder was brought into position by the
window, and Silverman clambered
down.
IN the meantime an alarm brought
f7remen to the scene who investigated
the blaze. There was plenty Of smoke
but little fire in. the kitchen, where an
overheated stove had set fire 20 the
wainscoating while Silverman lay down
for nap. Moritz could not understand
the smoke, and obeying instructions
never to disturb the peace of his faith
er, did not awaken him. Silverman had
completely lost his head, an escape by
the stairway was not barred in the
least.
