FIRE IN HOME
BURNS ITSELF OUT
The fine home of Mr. H. W. Doerr
on Main St. had a close call from
being gutted by fire on Monday af
ternoon, When the fire alarm
sounded in connection with the fire
on the property of Miss Tom Mr
Doerr was in the act of cleaning a
coal-oil stove. He left the house
hurriedly for the power plant at the
river in order to start the water
pump. When he returned he found
that he had left the oil stove burn
ing and that it had begun to smoke
and started a fire in the kitchen but
fortunately through the lack of air
the fire had burnt itself out. When
Mr. Doerr opened the kitchen door
he was met with a volume of smoke
which poured forth. The woodwork
in the kitchen was badly charred as
well as a couple of doors and a stair
way. The paper on the ceiling was
burned. .Fortunately the doors had
been a.ll closed and the thick smoke
from the stove smothered the flames
for had there been any ventilation
the flames would no aount have gain
ed considerable headway. The dam
age is covered by insurance.
