HOME CAUSES EXTENSIVE DAMAGE A fire which broke out at about ten o’clock Tuesday morning did ex- tensive damage to the home of Mr. Russell Brillinger, Roseview Avenue. No one was home at the Brllinger residence and the fire was first not- iced by neighbors who sent in the alarm. When the firemen arrived‘ the flames had gained considerable headway and the rear part of the house was almost completely de- stroyed. The local brigade did exâ€" cellent work in saving the structure and in carrying considerable of the furniture from the house. The dam- age to the house was extensive and much of the furnishings are a total loss. A dog in the kitchen was suffo- cated before the firemen arrived which gives some indication of the headway gained by the flames. The cause of the fire is presumed to have been from the kitchen stove. The sympathy of the community is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Brillinger in their loss.
