Harris Property Destroyed BY Fire
Striving to obtain 100 per cent in
not having any fire calls during Fire
Prevention Week, the records of the
Harrington Fire Company were bro
ken early Thursday morning of last
week, when they were summoned to
the home of Jehu Harris, near Reev-
es Crossing about five miles north
of this town. 1t was one of the few
farm houses that water is available,
it being only necessary to lay hose
line of $50 feet from a stream to the
fire and plenty of water was there
The home burned to the ground be-
cause it had gotten too much of a
start before the firemen were called.
They made a quick run only to be
held up at a railroad crossing near
the fire by a long freight train.
When they arrived the room had
fallen in and the entire building was
a mass of flames. They extinguished
the burning embers. None of the out
buildings were burned and most of
the furniture on the lower floors
had been removed by neighbors. Mr..
Harris, after the fire, stated to fire
recorder that the fire started during
the night and he put it out as he
thought, and was awake from mid
night until morning keeping a watch
for another outbreak. He was not
home at the time and said the last
thing he did before going to work
was to inspect the place for fire. He
said that there probably was enough
insurance to cover the loss to the
buildings but his furniture that was
burned was not insured.
