L'MliKR 36. THURSDAY ATX KRNOQN, SKPTEMBKR 14, 1916. HONE OF B. C. MOSS BINS: ALMOST MffllNC LOST Fire Started This Morning 2 O'clock. Value Was $8,000; Insurance About $3,000 The handsome home of B. O. Moss. 1a Washington Park, and practically all of Its contents, were destroyed by iBre at an early hour this morning. 'The valuation was $8,000. It was covered by about $3,000 Insurance/ A dresser, table, some mattresses, a j rug. and one or two other articles of j furniture wore saved. Everything else was destroyed and all that Is left of the home Is the tall chimney, which Is still Htandlng. and a lot of smoldering embers. . Mr. Moss was awakened at about two o'clock by the smoke and cractf ling of flames. He attempted to put U out with hlM Are extinguishers, of which there were three In the house, while Mrs. Moss tried to get the Are department over the telephone. Something was wrong with the wire, however, and she could got no re sponse from Centrsl. Mr. Hathaway, who resides about 100 feet away, was arouBcd and lent his assistance In trying to put out the Are. For a lline. it looked as if they would be succ<*Bnf ul In extinguishing: the blaze, but when the Are extinguishers gave out. they realized that th^y had to give up. Mrs. Moss sprang into their auto mobile and drove to town, in thej effort to get the lire department to' help put out the flre. There seamed to be some hesitancy on the part of thos members she saw on taking the trip, as thoy declared that the bridge would not support the heavy truck. It was no4>jmtil one of the members arrived with the Information that I the. blrdge bad been repaired, that the truck was started. Then they arrived at the Are too late to be of any assistance. When Mr. Mons realized that there jwoe no hope of saving the house. he betfari to drag out what furniture he* could, being assisted by Mr. Hath jav/ay. In doing this, he forgot all risk to himself a nd his hands and f?wt were badly burned. The skin was hanging off In strips on his feet, i before he gave up the work, j When seen this morning. Mr. Moss was' at the lioine of Mr. and Mrs. [Hathaway, having Just returned from the hospital, where bis hands and feet had been dressed. "I don't kno^r exactly" how it started," he* said. "At first I thought lit was due to an electric iron, but I saw afterwards that the Iron was disconnected. Now 1 am convinced that It was due to a defective wire. The fire seemed to have gotten its start on the second floor, right in the vicinity of the switch box." The home was one of the most at tractive In Washington Park and was handsomely furnished. .Mr Moss was making further plans for its improvement and had hoped to Htart work on these in a few days. An in surance policy for $300 was due on part of his lurniture yesterday, hut luckily. Mr. Moss had this renewed promptly. For the time being. Mr. and Mrs. Moss will reside in the Baptist par sonage on Harvey street.. They will probably rebuild their home in Washington Park. ALLIES NOW ARE UNITED (By United Press) Paris, Sept. 14. ?
