smallness of the room and the pres

FAMILY FLEES
MIDNIGHT BLAZE
Fire, Said to Have Started
from Overheated Furnace,
Drives Family Out.
FIX LOSS AT $3.50
Blaze at Rhode Opera House,
Starting from a Defective
Chimney Does No Damage.

Seven persons, scantilly clad, were
driven into the street shortly before
midnight last night, when fire, caused
by an overheated furnace, broke out
at 38 Milwaukee avenue. The damage
to the building, it is estimated will
exceed eight hundred dollars.
The family of Mike Labnobski, who
occupy an apartment on the second
floor were awakened by John Utkeske,
after the latter, who occupies room
on the first floor, back of a soft drink
parlor, had discovered the blaze. The
two men are partners in the business.
After awakening the wife, two
daughters, Bernice, aged 10, Stella,
20 years old, and son, Nicholas, age
Is, Utkeske assisted the husband who
was sick in bed, to carry ten months
old infant, to the street. The family
was later cared for at the home of
a neighbor.
Because the fire had gained long
Roadway between the walls the fire
department experienced oonsidera BILE
difficulty battling the flames. Three
hines of hose ssere ~ together
with chemical.
Started by Furnace.
Investigation showed that the blaze
started from a rusty damper A ply
stefan who had visited the sick man
during the afternoon, ordered that the
house be kept warm, and in compliance
hot fire was kept in the furnace.
Emil Shut, who was in the bar
room, was the first person to detect
I;rnoxrayoL ha
flames eating through one of the walls
and summoned Utkeske. Then he turn
ed in a call for the department.
Labnobski estimated that in addi-
tion to the loss to the building, he
would be out approximately $500 for
furniture and clothing which were
ruined, and upon which he carried
no insurance.
Utkeske stated that all of his cloth
ing, with the exception Of the suit he
wore, had been partially burned. He
estimated his loss at $3.50.
Discover Fire at Rhode.
A small blaze at the Rhode Opera
house had just been extinguished
when the second call came in for the
department to make it's run to Mil

Torrance had just closed and the au-
ditorium, which earlier in the even
ing had been packed to capacity,
emptied, is thought to have averted
a possible panic.
The smell of smoke aroused persons
who were still in the theatre. An
investigation showed that the fire had
started from defective chimney.
Prompt action on the part of the fire
department prevented any damage be-
ing done.
