Residence Burns From Defective
Flue and Total Loss Results for
the Family
FATHER And MOTHER ARE
Away WHEN TRAGEDY OCCURS
Several Other Children In Family
Manage to Escape From the
Burning Home
(From Mondays daIly.)

Soon after o'clock this morning
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Pull
ford Spaulding at Reedsburg was dis
covered to be on fire and one of the
boys in the family was burned to
death. The father is employed at
| the condensary and the mother is a
nurse. Both left home about z
o'clock and soon after the house was
seen to be in flames. The father
and mother had had breakfast and it
is thought the blaze resulted from a
defective flue. There are several
children in the family and all escaped
except one son aged . or 10 years.
He had gotten from the bed and fell
on the floor Evidently the smoke
was so dense or else he was too be-
wildered to find his way to the door.
But little of the furniture of the fam
fly was saved.
Others Injured
Carl Strickert, a resident of Reeds
burg, was one of the first eye witness
es on the scene and stated the house
seemed TO burn all at once, as if the
flames ignited with OIL The home
was located at 423 Laurel street and
is almost a total loss.
Hollis, the child who met death in
the flames was not quite normal, it
is claimed A sister about Is years
of age made a heroic effort to save
the illfated Hollis and was badly
burned. The sister dragged the child
out of the house but too late to save
the life. Another child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Spaulding jumped from the
second story of the building. He was
badly burned about the hips.

and then one half of the time they
fail in getting oil.
Each Derrick and diggings costs
from $4,000 to 100000, but any
well that is producing has no shares

the avowed object of fostering a
closer cooperation in service be-

| In explaining her presence hero
Miss Wells said today:
1.-The only reason for the exist
ence of the Women's Over Seas
League is the word service What
ever was our work over there
whether we passed out food to the
hungry line of the khaki-clad in the
canteens behind the front, danced
with them at the big " casinos at
Nice or Axles Baines, served them
with coffee and doughnuts in the
Salvation Army huts, shopped for
them in Paris or wrote their letters
home-it was Joy in the service
that prompted it.
| Service, Is Slogan.
1T is the same spirit of service
that brings us together here. Our
desire is to help the ex-service
man where he needs it at home
Our wish to give that help in most
effective manner can best be at
tanned through cooperation with
the American Legion. In this re-
spect our organizations are fra
ternal bodies working toward the
same end.
Lust as we worked together over
there to achieve the same purpose
so we should work together here
in the same cause of service"
