USEO THE WORLD OVER TO CURE A COLO IN ONE OAT,
i , saved the lives of three men and prob-
i
i
.when a blaze of unknown origin gut
ted what Is known as the Keefer
building. Arousing the five or six
occupants of rooms in the lodging
house, Barnhill was Instrumental In
saving all and especially three who,
overcome by smoke,' were unable to
save their own lives. This was espe
cially true of a negro, "Shorty" Jer
gen by name, who was asleep ou ILe
second floor. Barnhlll did not find
him until the second time around the
rooms, and when he did locate the ne
gro the rooms were so smoke, tilled
that both were overcome. Stagger
ing to the stairway with his human
yet semi-unconscious load, Barnhill
had presence of mind enough left to
slide down the stairway, meanwhile
cnugmg to liie roomer, viueib tvs
cued the two from the room when the
ground floor was reached. ' "
. Two others sleeping on the ground
floor were awakened with difficulty
and had to be dragged through win
dows to safety.
The Are was well under way when
discovered. A severe gale was blow
ing the sparks over on the Grande
Ronde valley house and on the ney
by building houseing Dr. Fleenor at
1417, a rooming department at 1417,
a second hand store at 1419 and a
shoe shop at 1419. The fire depart
ment was at Its best and with the
right thing at the right time, not only
saved the burning heel from complete
destruction but prevented a conflagra
tion that was indeed imminent for
some time. , ,
The loss of furniture was almost
complete. The rear rooms and all the
upstairs rooms were burned and fur
nishings destroyed. On the ground
floor near the front there are a few
minor articles unscathed, but the great
bulk of the furnishings is' in ashes
and charred embers. Water soaked
and burned, there is nothing loft of
the building worth mentioning.
Mrs. Barnhlll has leased the prop
erty, but it belonged to Mrs. S. C.
Zuber who carried insurance amount
ing to about $1,700. The total loss is
placed at $3,000. The heavy wind
blowing at the time retarded the alarm
and many were not aware that a con
flagration of the fire Infected block
of old buildings was truly threatened
during the night. The Are was dis
covered about 2 o'clock,
