Fire at Spurgeon Moss Residence on West Main Street
A fire broke out at Mr. Spurgeon Moss residence occupied by Mr. Carl Huntley on West Main Street at 1 pm Saturday. Prompt city fire department action saved the handsome home from total loss though damage was minor and likely insured. Fire originated from laths placed too close to brickwork near a hot chimney aided by an Arcola Heater. Firemen cut in from the outside wall and used chemical extinguishers to control the blaze.
