FIRE DOES DAMAGE
TO LANE RESIDENCE

+
GeneseO, Jan. 1.-THE residence
of John Lane on West Second
street was considerably damaged
by fire Sunday. The FIRE alarm was
given at noon and was responded
to by the local fire department. As
the temperature ranged cOnsidera-
bly, below the freezing point, the
work of the firemen was hindered.
The fire seemingly started from
a defective chimney and was iOc8t-
ed under the roof, which made it
hard fight. The furniture was
mostly removed from The house
during the fire. The loss by bot1
fire and water damage has not been
definitely totalled. but viii likely
amount to at least $1,000 IHsur-
ance adjusters are expected TO be
here within d day or two to adjust
the loss.

FIRE DAMAGES
HOME At ERIE
Especial Correspondence


Erie, Jan. IA good demonstra-
ton of the efficiency of the fire
fighting equipment which has been
installed in Erie recently was Civ
en- Sunday when the house owned
by Charles Feaster caught Efire.
Flames were discovered bursting
through the roof about II a. M,
and the alarm given. In an in
credibly short time. considering
the fact that as yet there is no fire
alarm only by telephone, the fire
men arrived on the scene with hose
cart and soon had the flames un-
der control. The fire company is
composed of volunteers, and this
was their first call. The entire roof
was damaged The rooms on the
upper floor will probably have to be
replastered as the water damage
is considerable. The hard wood
floors were also marred and will
require revarnishing. The furni-
ture and bedding was removed from
the house, and also nearly all the
clothing, with the exception of
fur coat and other articles which
were in the attic. While the house
is undergoing repairs, the family
will stay at the home of Mrs. Feast
er's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John
Hawk. The house was insured with
the Adams Bros, and on Monday
r. c. Adams from Gales
burg arrived to estimate the loss.
The house is two story, finished in
hardwood throughout, and is prac-
tcally new, having been built but
a few years ago. 1t is believed the
roof caught fire from sparks from
the chimney
