rushed inside. defying the thickening
smoke and increasing flame, sought
vainly TO awaken the sleeping man, and
then dragged him to safety.
In the street the discovery was made
that the old man had been drugged,
probably with chloroform. He was
aroused with considerable difficulty and
could tell nothing of what had hap

FIRE was extinguished before it had

gave their names as c. w. Kimball and
Fhlhp Baughandt. Both were bound
over as Migrants. There was no evil
