children. She cared for the things
of her household till within two weeks
of her end and she was quietly walt
ing for the arrival of her children and
she knew them and her husband till
within four hours of her departure
This last desire to have her children
with her was realized and then she
peacefully closed her eyes to all
earthly things.

and ceaseless activities living for her
home and those whom she loved.

HERO BEARS TWO
WOMEN FROM
FIRE PERIL
Unknown Rescuer Vanishes After
Braving Smoke and Flame to
Warn BoarderS.

Fifteen persons, many Of them
women and children. were forced to
fee in their night clothes early Mon
day morning when fire. breaking out
in the residence Of John w. Dean, No.
107 Piedmont avenue, practically de-
stroyed the building.
A street car man, who was passing
along Piedmont avenue, discovered
the flames after they had gained con-
siderable Roadway and aroused the
sleeping occupants of the building,
probably prevented a loss Of life.
Upon seeing the roof Of the house
a mass Of fire, the passerby burst
through the front door shouting the
alarm. The flames quickly ate down
into the framework Of the dwelling.
The stranger was forced to carry two
Of the frightened women out OF the
burning building to save them.
Several fire companies responded to
the alarm, Company No. 4 arriving
first Difficulty was experienced by
the firemen in entering the house on
account Of the smoke. Entrance was
finally made through a window, AMI
in remarkably short time the flames
were subdued. The fire had gained
such Roadway and burned so rapidly
that the house was almost totally
destroyed, although the firemen were
on the sceen in less than Ave minutes
after the alarm was given.
After seeing that all Of the occu-
pants Of the house were safe, the I'M
known man left hurriedly, saying he
was afraid Of being late at his work.
Horse Guard Owners
The house is located at the corner
OF Piedmont and Edge wood avenues,
and is the property Of the Governors

operated a boarding house there for
some time. II was her that Mrs. l..

band was confined in the county ian
after being brought back from Texas,
where he was arrested with Mrs.
Pidcock.
The fire apparently started In a
closet on the second floor OF the
house, but the cause is unknown. IL
is a frame house. erected many years
ago.
Fifteen persons were asleep in the
house at the time Of the fire Among
them were Mr.. and Mrs John

the men are railroad employees with
the exception OF Fisher. who is in the

be held to little more than 1000,
according to Captain o. l.. Rudisill,
commander of the Governors Horse
Guard.

ago. purchasing II from Mrs. G. Low
