and barely escaped with their lives,
being compelled to make their way out
of the burning building in their night
clothes. Luckily the cottage Of
Charles Gardner is located a short dis
tance at the rear Of where tho Bal
lard cottage stood. and to this they
went and succeeded in gaining an en-
trance after having awakened Mr..
Gardner.
The origin Of the llre IL not known
but is supposed to have caught from
the chimney. Mr.. and Mrs.. Ballard
were asleep ana 1t was she who frat
knew OF the fire. the smoke having
awakened her. Mr.. Ballard was par
TALLY overcome and 1t was only after
some vigorous action on her part that
she was able to bring him to a real
tsing sense Of existing conditions. He
then took two pals Of water and
went UP stairs to the second floor
Of the building. where he found tho
building to be In flames. In his ef-
forts to stop the fire he was burned
about the face. his beard being sineed
and his eyebrows burned off. The
hair on the back of his head was
e'HSeo ana ne was somewhat burned
on the back OF the neck.
When asked about the probable loss
Mr. Ballard was unable Monday
morning to make any estimate. He
and Mrs. Ballard were able, through
having borrowed sufficient clothing to
come to the city and secure new out
mt, and even at that time Mr.. Ballard
was still suffering from the shock by
which he was afflicted at the time of
the fire. In addition to losing the
cottage with its furniture and fittings
he also lost lot of clothing, among
the latter new fur overcoat, a seal
skin cap and other wearing apparel
He also lost a pocketbook containing
1854 in cash. which he had drawn
from the bank for the purpose Of pur-
chasing a small lot Of land. The
pocketbook was in a pocket Of one
OF his coats and he made a desperate
effort to rescue the garment, but sue
ceeded in getting another coat.
From what could be learned Mon
day about the building it Is roughly
estimated that the loss on account Of
the fire may figure up about 5000 or
$500. on which there is partial insur-
ance in the c. E. Downing agency Of
this city.
