FIRE THREATENS HOME

Chimney Found Roaring Fur
mace When Accumulated
SCOT is Ignited.

Mrs. Clarence Stubbs was working
about her home, at 300S Van Buren
street, shortly before o'clock this
morning, when her attention was at
tracted by peculiar noise which she
thought -resembled the roaring OF
flames. Hurrying into the kitchen she
was startled TO see flames shooting
from the chimney and an investigation
showed her that the interior OF the
chimney was a roaring furnace with
fire shooting from the top and around
the roof.
She called Matthew Henry, who lives
next door, and he summoned Engine
Companies Nos and 10. The firemen
were at the house a short time after
getting the call and they extinguish-
ed the fire by dumping coal down the
chimney. There was no damage to the
property as the fire was due TO an ac-
cumulat ton of SCOT becoming ignited.

discovered at Twenty ninth and Frank
