overcome by smoke, but was revived
at a neighbor's home and returned to
the house to rescue about $1,000 worth OF
jewelry as soon as the fire was extin-

by spontaneous combustion or crossed
electric wires, in the opinion of Bat
talon Chief c. Schrom The blaze
was confined to the caves beneath
the roof and the principal damage
was wrought by water and smoke,
which drenched and virtually ruined
thousands of dollars worth of elab-
orate house furniture, consisting of
imported rugs and tapestries.

the furnishings. She sat on the porch
of the house watching the firemer
sweep into the lawn shattered frag.
ments of valuable vases and other
debris which had previously been
