The house to the South, owned by JOHN SOWERS and occupied by JOHN HALE, colored, was badly damaged on one side and the roof. The fire spread to the house owned by MAX SALENFREIND on the North, caught fire and because of lack of hose was completely destroyed. This house was occupied by J. L. PRINCE, an employee of the Standard Oil Co. Mr. PRINCE saved most of his furniture, but one of his little children came near being burned up before she could be gotten out. BOB SLAYTON, who was assisting in removing the furniture, discovered the child in bed and got her out before the fire entered the room.
