Fire Dooms Two-Story Home at Aura and Railroad
A two story dwelling owned by the Armstrong Estate on the corner of Aura and Railroad streets burned about 7:30 in the evening during fair week. Loss estimated at 500 for the building and 200 for contents, with insurance on the building through the Oregon Fire Relief association but not on contents. Upper floor housed J. McClure, a Penland Brothers lodging house night clerk, reportedly cooking on a gasoline stove. Lower floor occupied by Mr and Mrs G W Shill who moved there recently from Cabbage Hill. Ward Manker, a local newsboy, saved the child of the Shills and assisted in removing furniture. Fire companies arrived promptly though hose problems and street flooding hindered control efforts.
