Originating from some unknown cause, thought possibly to be from a spark, the roof on the residence of Ed Ehinger caught fire at 12:45 today. The blaze was first noticed by Charles Webber, who immediately turned in the alarm and the department was on the scene in a few seconds. The blaze was extinguished by use of the chemical before it had gained any serious headway. The amount of damage was very small, burning a small hole in the roof, and carpenters were put on the job of repairing it immediately. — —a —— HOUSE FOR SA LEI— story, to be removed off lot.
