Family Annoyed by Smoke Smell for Week; In¬ vestigations Yoid
Last Friday afternoon about 1:45 an alarm of fire was turned in at the Vigilance Hose Company and upon their responding found smoke pour¬ ing from the attic windows at the home of A. O. Braemer. Washington street, owned by Mrs. G. J. Wimmer. The flre company had a chemical stream on the blaze in a tew minutes although some dlfflculty was experi¬ enced in getting at the flre itself be¬ cause of its origin between the walls of the building. The flremen did good work and soon extinguished the blaze.
In the meanwhile neighbors and other persons who were drawn to the scene by the sounding of the alarm had moved most of the house¬ hold effects to the outside as a pre¬ cautionary measure. However, they were unable to get everything out and some clothes and other articles were ruined by the unusual amo-ant of water It was necessary tc use be¬ cause of the difficulty experienced in locating the center of the disturb¬ ance.
The entire loss caused bv f.re anl water to the dwelling and the con¬ tents Is estimated at around 8800 to $1000. partly covered by insurance. The fact that the f.re started in the north wall of the house bet.veen tl.^ second floor and the attic ma'ses ic look as though crossed or bared electric wires had started the flre. Tbe members of the family had tu>- tlced the odor of smoke for alnu>st a week but upon Investigation were unable to discover anything. The grandson noticed an odor of smo'?:e during the night but after ar;s:n;r and investigating from cellar to atti: discovered no traces of flre.
