At that time, the room whs in flames and before the fire department arrived the entire second story was enveloped. When the roof fell in this forced the second story floor to give way, shut­ ting off all possible chance of saving household goods on the first floor, As the home is some distance from the nearest fire cistern the department could only use one line of hose. A high wind from the north-west with a little water saved the hew home of Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson, son-in-law ahd daugh­ ter, who reside next door. A kitchen range, porch swing, chair and hall ack is all that whs saved. The cloth­ ing belonging to .the family was all burned other than what they wore. Mr. Boase had just left the house a short time previously and was down town. Mrs. Boase and Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson were out of town. No de­ finite cause for the Are has been as signed but in as milch as the roof was found ablaze it might have startei from sparks or a defective flue. Only $ 2,000 insurance was carried on the house With $500 on contents. m a b b i a g n l ic e n s e s Earl E. Wheelen, Cedarvillc, farm- ;r*S '; ' Z : £ * ?
