A Close Call
Thursday night, June 10Th. Mr. Bert
Trice, 1884 East Jefferson street, ex-
perienced very close call when the
mattress and other bed clothing in
his room caught fire and burned all
around him. He was awakened by
the landlady and others who saw
smoke coming from his room and
heard no one making an effort to put
out the fire or call the department.
On entering the room they found Mr..
Trice fast asleep and the bed clothing
burning dangerously near him.
Strange as it may seem, Mr. Trice
didn't become frightened until he was
aroused frem his deep slumber and
saw the fire all around him. They
were compelled to hold him in order
to prevent him from running into the
street half clad A lighted cigarette
butt lying on the edge of the bed, told
the story of how the fire originated.
The fire was extinguished and an eX-
animation of the room showed that
no damage had been done other than
ruined mattress and comfort. Here
after, Mr.. Trice vows that he will not
lay his cigarette down until it re
fuses to draw"
