BLAZE

A dangerous blaze in the home of
postmaster Taylor r. Biles occurred
between five and six o'clock on Tues
day evening, when grease caught fire
as his daughter, Miss Ruth Biles,

Her cries for aid brought her
father and Joseph Cooney from the
postoffice, few steps away. They
secured the chemical extinguisher
that is kept in the postoffice, and the
blaze was soon extinguished. The
principal damage was a delayed
supper and much upset young lady.
Joseph Cooney was burned about the
