in East Ely. Notwithstanding their
personal loss by the fire was heavy
with no insurance. both Mr.. and Mrs.
Boese are inclined to take philo-
sorhical view OF the incident. which
came near having a tragic ending.
1t appears that while Mr.. Boese was
attempting to fight the blaze with a
fire extinguisher Mrs. Boese was at
the telephone for the purpose OF sum-
moning the fire department. After
getting the message to fire headquart-
ers she rushed to the burning room
where Mr.. Boese had gone with the
extinguisher. The fire was then be-
yond control and the air heavy with
thick hot smoke. Mrs. Doese. although
naturally alarmed at the situation. dill
not lose her presence of mind. ard
feeling her way into the smokc-il
room came upon her husband lying
prone upon the floor.
There appeared to be only one thing
to do. and that Mrs. Boese did with
out further loss of time. She seized
Mr.. Roese by hts legs and by main
strength dragged him from the burn
ing room and out of the house into
fresh air. and physically Mr.. Boese is
fat from being a light weight. He was
unconscious and 1t was several min
Utes before he fully revived. y shoi +
time longer and he would have suf-

Mr.. ard Mrs. Boese lost all their
clothing except what they were wear
ing. Besides complete wardrobe
there were numerous other personal
belongings. such as silyerwcar. vaiu-
able laces. pictures and jewelry, which
were burned or damaged beyond re-
pair. or the jewelry mentioned was
a platinum bracelet set with forty
diamonds. a recent gift to Mrs. Boeso
from her husband. Some OF the dia-
monds were afterward found scattered
about in the debris resulting from the
fire.
