Sunday night the fire department
was called to make a run to the resi-
dence of VIM. Dorney, but when they
arrived the fire had been extinguished.
The fire was caused by an electris
wire burning in two and the live end
falling on bed burning through the
quilts into the mattress. A two year
old child was sleeping on the bed and
the wire fell within a few inches of
its head. Charles King who was
the first one to notice the fire was also
the first person to arrive. He grab
bed the wire and sustained a severe
burn. The wonder is that he was not
electrocuted as the wire carried 21O
volts and was very much alive.
