in north Arkansas was destroyed Tues
day afternoon when the home Of 10.
Dalton, in this city, was burned.

dition to the loss on the building,
household goods valued at several hun
dred dollars was lost Insurance on
both home and furnishings amounted
to $500.
The origin of the fire is not known.
1t started in the attic on the south
side Of a large flue, or chimney, which
served the fireplace. 1t is surmiscd
by some that recent blasting on the
roads in that neighborhood may have
cracked the chimney and through this
spark from the fire below was adj
mitted.
A large number of people rushed to
the scene and succeeded in carrying
out a quantity of household goods and
preventing the spread of the blaze to
other buildings.
Mr. Dalton was away at one of his
farms and his son, Lewis, was in Nam
moth Spring, leaving Mrs. Dalton alone
when the fire started. She discovered
the blaze and Immediately phOned in
he alarm. A number of men from
town reached the scene in time to have
extinguished the fire had an adequate
supply of water been obtainable, but
the only available supply was from a
lawn hose which was filed with frozen
water.
