FIRE CHIEFS MOTHER
AND SISTER BURN
Reaches Home Too Late to
Save Loved Ones.

Washington, Pa, Feb. 3. - Leading
his company in response to an alarm,
Fire Chief Patrick Curran found the
blaze was in his own home on West
Maiden street.
Grabbing a chemical extinguisher,
he rushed through the smoke filled
doorway and, running through the hall,
enered the room of his aged mother,
Mrs. Bridget Curran, eighty-four years
old, where the flames were burning
fiercely.
The fire chief stumbled over some
thing on the floor and, reaching down,
picked up the terribly burned body OF
his mother. He carried the woman into
a neighboring house, where she died
soon afterward.
The aged woman's daughter, Miss
Mary Curran, who attempted to save
her mother, sustained fatal burns,
while a son, Michael, was terribly In.
jured by the flames.
The fire had it's origin in an open
coal CRATE. 1t is supposed that Mrs.
Curran rose in the night and approach
ed the mantel, her nightrobe becoming
ignited at the CRATE. Her screams
brought her daughter from the second
floor, and in the fight with the flames
Miss Curran was burned over the
greater par+ of her body.

How down and stood by Davis.
