FLUE CAUSES
LOSS OF HOUSE AND CONTENTS

Sunday evening Mrs. John Beck
built fire in her range and left for
a few minutes, and within few minu-
tes the house was discovered to be
ablaze. A call was hurried in, but
the fire had gained such headway that
Vt was impossible to quench it.
The house and all contents were
destroyed, leaving the family with
only the clothes they wore. To lose
ones all is serious misfortune and
generous persons have contributed Of
their stores to aid the stricken family.
A rumor gained credence that the
mother left a small baby in the house,
but this was untrue. In the first place
she has no child in infancy. There
are three children, twins of five years
and a girl of eight. We make this
statement in order to put stop to un-
just and unkind criticism.

ton.
