DOUGLAS. Ariz., Sept. 2S.-Two parrots were the cause of much ex- citement here when the house in which their owner lived burst into flames. Bremen were attracted by shrill cries from within the burning structure. Crawling on hands and knees, the firemen went into the building and made a careful search for what they believed were chil- dren caught in fire trap.
 The cries would seemingly come from one room but when the rescu- CTS would slowly and painfully make their way in that direction the screams would come from other parts of the building. They were finally found perched upon the kitchen sink screaming angrily at the tapping flames.
