The Money Burned To Ashes

Miss Nellie Dunstan, by her presence of mind saved the house of Mr. Curtis, on Packard Street, from being badly burned Sunday night.

Miss Dunstan awoke in the night and discovered her clothing, which was on a chair beside the bed, to be on fire. She immediately grasped the clothing and threw it out of the window to the snow beneath. This saved the room. After she had thrown it out she remembered that she had $11 in a bag pinned to the clothing and immediately descended to save it if possible, rushing out into the snow without her shoes. Part of the bag was saved, but the money was in ashes. Miss Duustan's hands were burned, but not seriously. Had Miss Dunstan not awakened as she did or acted so promptly in throwing the burning clothing out of doors, the flames would undoubtedly have spread and caused considerable damage. No idea as to the cause of the fire can be formed.
