A fire which was discovered at 2:30 Early Morning Fire. o'clock Sunday morning in the residence of Prof. F. W. Westhoff, 304 West Mulberry street damaged the interior of the to the extent of $2,000.

It was Mr. Westhoff who discovered fire. was awakened at 2:25 o'clock by the heat of the flames, which roared within two feet of his head. A call was sent at once to the Normal fire department, who were on the scene within four minutes. The origin of the fire, could not be found for some time, it was raging between the walls in the interior of the house, and between the ceiling and floor of the second story.

The rooms were filled with smoke, thru which the electric lights could but dimly penetrate. The little aid that they rendered enabled neighbors and firemen in removing furnishings and attacking the fire was lost when the wiring burned thru and the lights were extinguished. Thru esteemable work of the department, practically all of the furnishings were saved carried to neighbors porches where they were covered with rugs. It is thought that the fire originated between the walls a little above where the hot air pipes entered from the furnace between the walls. In all probability a corroded hot air pipe was of insufficient strength and thickness to carry the large amount of heated essential to warm the house in the rigorous weather, and giving way, allowed the heat to scorch, blister, and eventually ignite the walls.

Both water and chemicals were used by the firemen, who ceded finally in extinguishing the flames at 4 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Westhoff are staying with the Dexheimer's, 804 North Main street until they can secure a house. Rev.
