Neighbor Shuts Off Water Flames Destroy Residence In At East Alton Huge Crowd Turns Out For Halloween Parade Robert Lee Cash East Alton Boy, 13, Rims Into Car; Fractures Leg WOOD RIVER A frame house in Lincoln Addition was burned to the ground Saturday evening and, while the blaze was far advanced when Wood River firemen arrived to attempt to cope with the situation, their difficulties were complicated by the fact that a neighboring family refused to permit use of their water supply to fight the fire. The house, owned by John Sheets, was occupied by the Jack Bick family. All furniture and personal property of the occupants were a total loss. Wood River firemen answered a call to the scene after it was ascertained that a neighboring department had refused to make the run to the area which is not located in a fire district nor is it inside Wood River city While firemen expressed doubt' that any of the building or contents could have been saved, what with the lack of full-scale fire hydrants, their efforts were ham-strung when a neighbor, onto whose water supply a hose had been attached, shut off the water inside the house, curtailing further efforts to fight the flames. The tapping of the neighbor's water supply was resorted to after a 500-gallon supply hauled on the municipal fire truck, had been exhausted.
