Tuesday at noon, the fire truck was
called to the H. w. Parkhurst Apart
ment House. 1t is said the fire start
ed near the roof on account of de-
fective chimney. The fire had gotten
some Roadway before the water could
reach the part of the house that was
burning. The roof was badly dam
aged by fire and the rest of the house
by water What makes it particular
~ hard for the Parkhurst family is
that they are all down with the flu.
Mrs. Parkhurst was so i'll that it was
not thought best to risk her removal
from the house. Mr.. and Mrs. Park
hurst moved here last summer from
PlainvilIe and bought the apartment
house. 1t has been known as the
"Keller Apartments" and is located
only two doors east from the place
where the fire truck is stationed.
