Sunday forenoon at about 11:30 o'clock
fire broke out in Victor Reed's residence
three and a half miles south of St. Ed
ward. The fire apparently started un
der a trunk on the second Hoor, and
until the smoke from burning clothing
reached the family down stairs, they
were unaware of their danger. A lad
der was soon placed at one of the up
stairs windows, the window broken in,
and by the lively work of a bucket bri
gade the fire was after about thirty
minutes hard work, extinguished.
Messrs. Tom Scanlan, Dave Preble,
Gene Collins, and Parker Stevens,
neighbors of Mr. Reed's assisted very
materially in the work of the bucket
brigade. A match is supposed to have
been under the trunk, and the trunk
having been moved out from the wall
that morning, it is presumed in some
way ignited the match. The loss sus
tained is about $200, and is partly
covered by insurance. Carl, Mr. Reed's
eldest son, in breaking in the windows,
cut his hands quite bad, but his injuries,
while very painful, are not considered
to be of a serious nature. Boone Coun
