Fire saves invalid as captain carries man to safety
Captain Ernest Howard of Engine No. 7 conducted a personal search on the second floor at 1810 Fourteenth street NW and found Aaron Blondbein, an invalid, partially overcome by smoke and unable to escape. He carried him to the street where he revived. The blaze spread from the Blondheim store to the adjoining rooming house at 1808 and to quarters above the store, likely from an overheated furnace, with damages to the Blondheim store and stock estimated at 2000 dollars. Late last night a separate clothing-store fire at 153 Seventh street NW caused about 4000 dollars in damage.
