A fire swept through the 1323 Van Buren residence in Amarillo early this morning, nearly costing five family members their lives.

Mrs Evelyn Jean 73 and son Wilbur 12 escaped via the front, while the front of the house sustained heavy smoke damage. Damages estimated at 20000 to 25000 dollars, with historical paintings and manuscripts ruined. The family had just returned from Fort Worth and were sleeping when the fire started in James closet due to an electric short.
