CARRY BABY FROM
SMOKE-FILLED HOUSE

Fire, thought to have been due 10 a
detective hue. damaged the clothing
store of w. I. Farley, No. 7l3 Market
street about $50 o'clock last evening.
The loss is estimated at more than
5000, and it is believed it is covered
by insurance. The greatest damage was
caused by smoke to the stock OF wear
ing apparel and furnishings.
The fire was discovered by William I.
West. who with his wife and child have
apartments on the third floor of the build
ing. The second floor is occupied by
stroud & Co.. optometrists, whose es-
Establishment was not damaged by tbs
fire. Mrs. West recently returned from
a hospital following treatment there
and has not entirely recovered. Mr.
West had gone to the cellar TO attend
the heater when he found the lower foor
filled with smoke.
He sent in an alarm from box No.
and the district fire apparatus soon
arrived on the scene. The fremen
found dense clouds of smoke pouring
from the building They carried Mrs.
West and her baby, about 3 weeks old,
from their apartments to the homc of
friend nearby. Ira b. Robinson, of
the Reliance company. carried out the
baby. When the fire was discovered
Mrs. West did not regard it as seri-
Gus, but when smoke filled the build
ing she was unable to grope her way
down the stairs and the firemen as
sisted her out and carried the baby
to safety while a large crowd looked
on.
The fire was confined to the cellar,
where il had apparently smouldered
for several hours. Occupants Of near
by buildings reported they had smelled
burning wood for two hours.
While fighting the fire John Riddle
of the Friendship Company. lost a
valuable gold stickpin. formed in the
shape of a crown and set with three
rubies. He is anxious to have the
pin returned to him by the finder, or
to deliver it at the Friendship Com
I pany's engine house.
