Voters don't turn out to a genera]

Their interest ceases after the Democratic

spreading rapidly, and as she went
to the phone to give tho alarm the
ceiling was failing in. The flames
had cut off the approach to the upstairs
aru the firemm had to break
in at the rear upstairs to enable the
boarders to escape from their dan*
serous places. Before anyone knew
anything of the firo it had burned
through the floor of the upper room
in which it started and the flames
had licked their way across and were
getting in their destructive work.
The firemen had responded as promptly
as the hordes could make their
way over the snow, but the firo had
made such headway before discovery
that the building was practically
wrecked in the interior, the rooms
~nd nearly all of the 'furniture beinr
ruined jy firn and water. In another
half hour everything wonll have beei
destroyed anrl perhaps some lives
lost. The fire started from the fireplace
in the roo?n of a boarder wiio
was out at the time.
Tho damage to the house is estimated
at between three and four
v
thousand dollars and the furniture
at from $800 to $1,200. All of which
is partly covered by insurance.
