Each sent in the alarm simultane
ously, resulting in an entirely dif
ferent registration ln the fire hall.
Tills resulted In considerable de
lay of Uie fire equipment reaching
the scene of the fire. However,
the damage was done before the
blaze was discovered.
The second feature was the rescue
performed by M. J. Draegert, a
neighbor, who saved the life of the
Williamson's three months' old
daughter, who was lying in a car
riage on the front porch of the
house. The child was unscathed by
the flames, which had reached the
coverlet placed over her.
