WILLIAM F. DASHIELL'S
Home BURNED YESTERDAY

Residence OF Vel known Resident
OF Taylor's Island Burned To The
Ground Yesterday Afternoon
Family Lost Clothing, Furniture
And Practically Everything LIN The
House.
The home of MIR. William F.
Dashiell. a well known citizen of
Taylor's Island, was destroyed yes
terday afternoon about three o'clock
by a fire which is believed 20 have
started from a spark falling on the
roof of the kitchen. Mr., Dashiell
and other members Of the, family
were not in the house when the fire
was first discovered and by the time
they arrived the whole building was
a mass of flames.
Besides losing the building itself
all of the furniture in it, all of the
family's clothing and all of their
personal belongings were lost. Mr..
Dashiell attempted 90 enter the
house to get some papers which he
kept on the first floor but the heat
from the flames was such that he was
quickly driven outside.
MI Dashiell stated today that he
believed his loss to be at least $4,000
upon which he had instance of only
$1,000. The barn ond other out
buildings on the property were saved
by the wind blowing the flames from
instead Of toward them.
