Boardman Home
Destroyed! By Fire
By MARY LEE MAHLOW
BOARDMAN A valuable coin
collection, new furniture and all
of the other belongings o Mr.
and Mrs. Paul Noble went up
In flames last Thursday after
noon as fire raced through the
two-story cement block house
the couple had lived in about
two weeks.
The fire struck between 3 and
3:30. Noble, who was alone, had
started to take a nap when he
noticed smoke and some flames
around the chimney where it
went into the wall. Not having
a phone he ran to the home of
a neighbor to turn in the alarm,
and by the time he got back the
fire was so intense the windows
were breaking and he was un
able to enter the structure to
save anything. A strong south
west wind fanned the blaze, and
carried sparks about an eighth
of a mile away setting two trees
on fire at the next farm.
The fire department arrived
and saved part of a pile of new
lumber that was stored in an ad
jacent garage. The garage was
destroyed.
The house, one of the oldest
on the Boardman irrigation pro
ject west of town, was construc
ted about 45 years ago. In Aug
ust, 1929, it was destroyed by

built. Owner Leo Bamett says
he does not plan to rebuild. No
insurance was carried on the
house.
