DWELLING BURNED
Fire Wrecks .'Oaklawn," The Bech-
tel Country Home, at West
Nottingham

NOCGHm&DAm
The beautiful country home of Mr..
and Mrs. G.. o. Bechtel, at West Not
tingham, was wrecked by fire on
Tuesday afternoon, Mr.. and Mrs.
Bechtel being away at the time, and
knowing nothing of the disaster un-
til their return late that night.
They reside in Galesburg, ILL.,,
spending portion OF the summer at
their old home at West Nottingham,
the property being the Bechtel home
stead, which had been greatly i'm
proved and beautified since they
purchased it.
The fire, which was of undeter-
mined origin, was first discovered by
Mrs. David L. Price. who lived there,
shortly before three. She observed
smoke coming through the roof and
gave the alarm. The Community
Fire Company responded, with both
engines. The fire apparently start
ed in the attic and evidently had
been burning for some time before
discovery.
A portion Of the house is occupied
by David L. Price and family, Mr..
Price being away at the time, Mrs.
Price and her young child being the
only occupants.
When the firemen arrived the en-
tire roof was on fire. The flames
were checked somewhat by chem
ical stream until line of hose was
laid to small run some distance
away and scant supply of water
obtained for the big pumper by has
tily throwing up a small dam. With
nine hundred feet of hose out the
firemen got small stream OF water
ON -the blaze, which they fought for
two hours, and despite the big odds
against them succeeded in saving a
portion of the dwelling, the roof and
second story being completely burn
ed before the flames were extin-
guished.
Meanwhile the large crowd that
had assembled had been working
hard, and most OF the household
effects of both families were carried
out safely.
The loss will easily reach $40, 900,
with only a partial insurance. on
dwelling and contents.
West Nottingham seems to be fat
ed, as this is the fourth disastrous
visitation by fire in recent years.
The old Magraw house. used as
dormitory for the Academy, was
completely destroyed by fire, while
the school was closed for the holi-
days last December,
Some years previous to that the
dwelling of the headmaster, which
occupied the site of the present Pres
,byterian manse, was struck by light
ming and burned, together with con-
tents, while closed during the sum-
mer vacation.

water tank beside the garage that
contained about 16 feet of water.
The water was drawn off from the
tank and Miss Passmore's body was
found in an upright position leaning
against one side. When. an exami-
nation of the body was made a bull
let wound in the head was found,
and then the tank was completely
