Fire wrecks Peters home as family escapes with losses
A rear fire leapt through a home owned by J E Peters as Mrs Perdue and husband fled. Neighbors forced entry but flames spread fast burning the roof and contents. Several chickens died when they hid under the dwelling. Losses include $5,000 with $1,000 in clothing and burned bonds. Insurance totaled $4,000 on house and contents. A Monroe-Wesps delegation heads to Baton Rouge seeking municipal relief measures to aid cities, including tax and license changes.
