Early Morning Fire In ; West Salem Yesterday; An early morning fire completely de- j stroved the two-story dwelling in West j Salem occupied by the l.iggttt family . yesterday. Mrs. Liggett, her sister, and t a baby were the only ones in the house i at the time. They escaped by way of a ' window in their night clothes. The family had just moved into the j house, and had not arranged for a trans fer from the insurance company, so it is considered doubtful whether they will be able to realize on an insurance policy which they hold. Everything in the house was burned, including all the fam ily clothing and a purse containing $25. One of the women had been up sev eral times in the night heating food for; the baby, and it is thought that trie nre originated in some manner from this circumstance. The building was owned by Chas. Baker, of Salem, an employe of the Spanldiug company, and was insured. President Wilson . Pays Tribute to Riley Washington, July 21.
