Fire Routs Dallas Family;
Third Home Lately Burned
Dallas. Jan. 16 Fire starting around the flue at the residence
of Mr. and Mrs. Ted Denton and
badly damaged the interior of the house and lclt the family
homeless early Saturday afternoon.
This is the third Dallas family which has been driven from its
home because of fire so far thisf
year.
The Dentons were renting the
place from an estate in Port
land through the H. H. Harder
real estate agency. While most of
their belongings were saved,
smoke and water damage was
heavy, and the loss will be great.
No insurance was 'carried on the
household goods, but the resi
dence was believed to be insur
ed. Mr. Denton, a ratchet setter at
the Willamette Valley Lumber
company, was m faalem at the
time of the fire, but Mrs. Den
ton and three children, Kenneth,
10, Perry, 2, and Pat, 1, were at
home.
A neighbor, Ellsworth Wilson,
noticed fire at the peak of the
house on his way home and at
the same time saw the older boy
carrying one of the smaller chil
dren from the house. Wilson tele
phoned the fire alarm and trucks
and 28 men of the Dallas volun
teer department responded to
battle the blaze. They laid lines
through heavy snow and endur
ed the frigid cold to fight the
fire.
Mrs. Denton stated that the
family has no relatives in town
and no place to go. They were
staying at the home of a neigh
bor immediately after the fire.

will be brought up to the desired
point for comfort.
