ABRAHAM HOME
AT WOODBURN
BURNS SUNDAY
Woodburn Fire completely de
stroyed the home of Mr. and Mrs.
James Abraham In Hall's addition
Sunday morning about 8 o'clock.
An overheated stove pipe, which
led through the roof in lieu of a
chimney, was the cause of the fire.
The building and contents were a
complete loss with no Insurance,
and the loss is estimated at about
$800. Two Buick cars were also
burned, one of them completely
destroyed. -
The burned building was outside
of the city limits and no water was
available which handicapped the
fire engine after its tardy arrival.
Mayor Broyles walked to the fire
and arrived ahead of the fire
equipment, which made it very
clear that it Is necessary for some
action to be taken immediately to
remedy the obsolete equipment
with which the Woodburn fire
company must contend each time
there is an occasion for its use, and
the matter will probably be taken
up at the next meeting of ths city
council.
