SMALL BLAZE DOES CONSIDERABLE DAMAGES AT T. B. GRANT'S RESIDENCE
Last Friday morning the residence of T. B. Grant in Block House Hill addition came near burning when Thomas, the little two-year-old son, carried a burning stick into the bedroom and set fire to the window curtains and bed clothing. The fire got a pretty good start, but quick work extinguished it without much loss."
