ANDERSON RESIDENCE
DESTROYED by FIRE

Fire of rather mysterious origin
destroyed the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Karl Anderson, on the pike.
East Hartford, last Saturday even
ing between seven and eight o'clock.
Fire was in both the range and
kitchen stove when Mrs. Anderson
left few minutes before the blaze
was discovered, and everything
seemed as usual.
Mr.. and Mrs Anderson were sit
ting on the front porch when the
blaze was discovered and it had
gained such Roadway that little of
anything could be saved.
The alarm was given and auto
mobiles and people with fire extin-
guishers rushed to the scene. Moth
ing could be done, however, for the
building even then was a mass of
flames. Being Il frame building,
the fire burned quickly and inside
an hour the whole was consumed.
A great crowd had gathered and
it was only by the heroic work of
voluntary fire fighters that the resi-
dence of Mr. Fred Cooper. near by
was saved. 1t was total loss for
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson. The resi-
dence was covered by $1,000 and
the furniture by $500 insurance,
which was probably about half the
cost of same.
