Another Case of Overheated Furnace

Occupants of House Escaped in Scanty Attire

Fire Occured at Home of Rev. A.B. Wood - Mrs. Wood Has Been Ill for Some Time

The home of Rev. Alvah Wood, on S. Ingalls street, was partially destroyed by fire Saturday morning. About 5 o'clock the people in the house were aroused by the smell of smoke and escaped in scantly attire to the neighbor's, where they were given shelter. The fire is supposed to have caught from an overheated furnace and the flames followed the electric wires, nearly destroying the front part of the house.

With the assistance of the students the firemen were able to save most of the furniture. The damage will amount to about $500.

Mrs. Wood has been seriously ill for some time and it is feared that this shock will be very bad for her.
