De BOLT HOME IN
WEDRON DESTROYED
BY F|RE;;LOSS $4,000
BUILDING THOUGHT TO HAVE
IGNlTED BY DEFECTIVE CHM
NEY Is TOTALLY DEMOLISHED
DURING YESTERDAY AFTER
MOONS CONFEDERATION.

Flames which are supposed to have
originated in the attic CT the old De-
Bolt homestead at Wedron, H., due to
a defective chimney, late Wednesday
afternoon reduced the large two-story
structure to mass of smoldering
embers, causing loss of approx
mately $4,000. The fire was first dis
covered by George DeBolt, who re-
sides on the farm. He was in the
barnyard and noticed the fire surging
forth from the roof He rushed into
the house and summoned the neigh
bors. Furniture downstairs was all
saved, but that on the second floor
was burned. A vain attempt was
made to save some of the furniture
upstairs, but because of the intense
heat and the great danger members
of the DeBolt family and the neigh
bors We're forced to abandon their
plans.
Bucket brigades were formed ana
every method available was used in
an attempt to check the flames, but
by the time the fire was first discov-
cred they had gained much headway
Failing in their attempt to save the
dwelling, the attention of the fire
fighters was turned to that of nearby
buildings.
As far as Mr.. DeBolt can determine
a defective chimney was the cause of
the fire. Sparks are supposed to have
sifted from the chimney in the attic
and started the side walls burning
The Sheridan fire department was
also summoned, but by the time they
arrived the building was practically
destroyed
Mr.. DeBolt stated this morning that
he carried $1,000 insurance on the
building. The policy was held by T.
+. Tucker. local agent.
