A loss of $4,000, with $1,000 of in
surance was caused Saturday night
when a cellar and the house on the
ranch of Gottlieb Miller. miles south
east OF Pendleton on Tutlilla, were
destroyed by fire Of an unknown orr
gin.
The owner. who WAS the only per-
son in the house, barely escaped with
his life. and all of his clothes, except
what he wore on his back were de-
stroycd. He is still unable to talk, his
arily halted by smoke fumes which
he inhaled before awakening.
An outside cellar, which was only n
few feet removed from the house, was
also destroyed. and Miller thinks the
blaze originated in the eellar. H0 Is
unable 10 account for the fire, how
ever, as no one is supposed to have
been in the cellAT for several days
After awakening at 1880, he called
two hired men. who were sleeping In

ing.
Miller. besides losing his clothes, al
so had the misfortune to have a set
of false teeth destroyed. He had a
pair of overalls, straw hat and
coat in his car in the garage. but he
had to borrow pair of shoes and
socks from neighbors before he could
come to Pendleton this morning to
make his report on the loss.
The barn and garage were saved,
the direction of the wind removing
them from danger. and field of
wheat which was close to the house
also was saved from damage for the
same reason.
