| westminster, April 20.-SDecial:
Last Sunday morning as number of
our people were on their way to Sun
day school or preparing to 20, an
alarm of fire fell on their startled
ears and it was found that the home
of Jas. G. Breazeale, on Retreat
street, was beginning to burn rap
| idly. Mr.. BreaZeale had motored
over to Walhalla early that morning
and returned home just as the flames
were gaining headway. 1t was
thought at first that it would be i'm
possible to save the house, but for
tunately Mr.. Breazeale has water
works in his home, and with an
abundance Of water and ready and
willing workers, wonders were ac-
complished. The flames were soon
under control as a result of most
heroic work Of men on top Of the
| building, while others, fearing that
the building could not be saved. had
stripped the front rooms Of their
furnishings and were preparing for
the worst. The fire left .yawning
gap in the roof as evidence Of it's
fateful work, but Mr.. and Mrs. Brea-
zeale are very thankful that their,
home was not, totally destroyed.
