owned and occu::ied by Mrs. Betty
Schroeder, shortly after seven o’clock
Friday evening W. W\ Olive found
the furnace room all ablaze and tel-1 niother.

Erected some four or five years ago
as a play -house by W. S. Halliwell
and rebuilti and enlarged by Roy
Pushee, the cabin passed into the po-
session of Mrs. Schroeder, who, at
the time oflth» fire was dining at the | 5

the furnitur^^WyiVersicMal effects of
the owner could be saved. The house
and furniture were insured in the E.
