iOusly damaged by fire caused caus-
ed by a defective fiue. The property
was leased to Mrs. Elsie Melvin

troll In one hour. They were some
what handicapped by the freezing
temperature, water pouriag from the
roof froze as it reached the ground,
ice also collected on the ladders.
When the company arrived dense
clouds of smoke were pouring from
the attic windows making 1t neces-
sary to put on smoke masks before
the iremen could enter the build
ing. The damage Is estimated at
$500, covered by insurance. Most OF
the furniture, on which there was
no Insurance, was removed from the
building. James Hutson, a boarder
in the home, made an investigation
after he thought he smelled some-
thing burning early in the evening
and later was awakened by the
flames. All the occupants Of the
building managed to leave the build
ing scantily clad and were cared
for by neighbors. Miss Virginia
Griffith, a teacher in the public
schools who has some of the chill
dyen in her room, arranged to look
after them. Spectators who turned
out for the alarm did not tarry long
in the freezing weather. Insurance
adiusters made inspections early
and repairs will be started immedi-
ately.
