J. J. Cloughley's Home .-De-stroyed
t)y Firer
Yesterday morning at about 3
o deck oar citizens were suddenly
awakened by the firing of guns
whistling of. locomotives and ring
ing of bells which readily suggest
ed fire. 'It was not long until
many people were at the scene
the home of J.J. Cloughley the
U. K.. tfc T. railroad agent second
door north of the Excelsior laun-
dry. The fire originated from a
defective flue and burned a nan
of the roof off before Mr. Cloughley
and family who were nearly Buffo-
cated by the smoke were awak
ened. '".The family hadn't more
than time enough- to dress and es-
cape with their lives consequently
little save a sewing machine
and a few chairs eto-. were car-
ried out although the crowd made
a heroic effort to save the furnish
ings. The house which was the
property of John Weaver was re
duced to : ashes in a very short
time. It was valued at $450 and
was insured for $300. Mr. Clough
ley's loss is quite heavy is
household goods were valued at
$1000 with $500 insurance.
Miss Florence Harmon Mrs.
Frank-Slaughter and Mrs. A E Ball
Mrs. Cloughley's sisters all lost a
goodly amount of clothing. ' .:.
Mr. Cloughley is very thankful
that th i family escaped without
any serious sickneBs. as his moth-
e-r-in-law Mrs; Harmon bad been
confined to her bed for a day or so
and it was feared that moving her
would be detrimental to her health.
Mr. Cloughley savs his little boy'a
olothing was all destroyed and be
had ta get out and buy a suit for
the little fellow'as soon as daylight
awned. Not-more than two
months ago Mr. Ball Mr. Clough
ley's brother-in-law had his house
at Wagoner destroyed by fire. Mr.
Cloughley feels very kindly tow-
ards those who responded to the.
alarm and tried to save his house
hold goods. '
