FIRE IN ATTIC
Fire started in the attic of a double house on Regent street owned by O.H. Garner and occupied by Mrs. Zimmer and Mr. Briggs. The blaze started over the apartments of Mrs. Zimmer and was first noticed by neighbors. An alarm was turned in, to which the firemen responded. A bucket brigade had about drowned out the blaze when the firemen arrived and only the chemical was used. No one had been in the attic and the only explanation of the fire is spontaneous combustion. The loss in wearing apparel was about $150 and the damage to the house was in the neighborhood of $25.00.
