BABY'S CRIES SAVE SLEEPING
FAMILY FROM FIRE PERIL
Attract Policeman, Who Summons
Engines to the Scene.

The cry of the child who saw the fire
early today enabled the police to rescue
from suffocation six persons asleep In a
smoke-fllled house next door to the burn
Ing cigar store of James Brown, 1921
South Sixth street.
The rescued family was that of Jacob
Margolis, who with his wife and four
children was asleep at 1928 South sixth
street when the FIRE started next door.
Clouds of sitting tobacco smoke were roll
ing into their bedrooms when the cry of
little Able Stroud, 1906 South Sixth street,
who looked from his window and saw
flames in the cigar store, warned patrol
man, who burst open the Margolis front
door and led the family out into the
street.
The patrolman also turned in an alarm
of fire, and soon engines, hose trucks and
other apparatus clattered to the scene.
The Margolis family were taken care of
by neighbors. Their house was not
damaged by fire, but filled with smoke.
Rats gnawing matches are thought to
have started the blaze in Browns cigar
store. The upper floor of the building Is
occupied by a New Years association.

his store and stock will amount to about
