BAD FIRE AT TRAIL

Two Houses Burned and Occupants
Have a Narrow Escape.

CAUSED IN SAME OLD WAY

An Overheated.Stove Burns the Houses of
Horbort’and A. H. Lewie—Th» Ladies Bs-
capo Through 8 Window—Good’ Work of

Firemon Prevent Flames Speading.

Fire broke out about 1:30 this
morning in the cottage of Herbert
Lewis, of Lewis Bros, of Trail and
destroyed that house and the ad-
joining one occupied by A. H.
Lewis, the train dispatcher on the
C. & W railroad. Only the good
work of the fire brigade confined
theflames to. these “two houses.

The flames started from an over-
heated stove in Mr. Herbert Lewis’s
two story house and spread so. ra-
pidly that Mr. Lewis's wife and sis-
ter ‘only escaped by ‘climbing
through the ‘window in their night
clothes. The fire quickly spread
to the Reardon cottage, adjoining.

The loss to the Reardon house is
about $500 with $300 insurance.
The furniture was saved. Herbert
Lewis suffers a total loss of furni-
ture and personal effects, as well'as
his home, aggregating $1900, with
insurance at $800.

The fire brigade was promptly on
the scene and did good service in
preventing the flames from spread-
ing to the neighboring houses in
the same row. .
