RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 1910.

MIDDAY FIRE ALMOST CONSUMES A RESIDENCE.

Fire Company Did Good Work In Subduing Blase that Started In Attic Of Yan Grant’s Residence. When the hopse occupied]) by Van Grant and family was discmrered on fire at about 11:15 o’clock today, Wednesday, it looked as though the flames were certain to destroy it. The fire department with Assistant Chief C. W. Rhoades in charge/and Bert Campbell driving, made a quick rush to the house, whicli is on Franklin street just north of the Mrs. William Eger property. Neighbors had already assembled and many of the housefibld goods were removed before the hose was connected up and a stream of water applied to the flames. But the good work of the department and a number of qssistatfts finally conquered the blaze t and the loss to the property will probably not exceed 3500. The roof was practically destroyed, the gable ends of the house somewhat burned, and the plastering over the upstairs rooms and the ceilings below will probably all have to be replaced. Mr. Grant and family, including Miss Ivy Erwin, of Chicago, who is a guest there, and a woman who was helping clean the house,' had just seated themselves at the dinner table when there was a noise in the attic that resembled rats. A second later Mr. Grant was convinced that there was a fire and running upstairs found the attic over the kitchen ali ablaze. The alarm was sent in and neighbors by that time had also discovered the fire and there was a lot of assistance in getting the things out of the house and in the rush that ensued there was some damage to these, although in the main they escaped uninjured. Chief Montgomery was out of town and Assistant Chief C. W. Rhoades took charge of the department and the work was very effectual. Within ten-minutes the fire was under control and aside from the roof and the water damage the house was uninjured. Aipong the outsiders who gave valuable aid to the department were Sam Roth, Chester Zea, N. C. Shafer and Cleve Eger. The house is the property of the heirs of William Eger, Mrs. Grant being one of them. The house was insured and the loss will probably be promptly adjusted. The household goods were also insured. Assistant Chief Rhoades received quite a bad cut on his left cheek while using an ax to break the roof in. The ax off the handle and struck him in the face. H/e also mashed one thumb quite badly.

Afternoon Blase Did Small Damage to H. P. Blanchard’s Barn.

The fire department was called out at about 3 o’clock this Wednesday afternoon by a small blaze in the barn at the Hiram Day tenement property occupied by H. P. Blanchard, on Milton street. The started on the main floor of the barn and worked its way to the now and flames were issuing from the gabfe end when the department arrived. A little water conquered it and the damage was Blight. None of Mr. Blanchard’B family was home and no one seems to know how the fire started.

Horace Marble Will Probably Submit to Amputation of Foot.

Horace Marble, the wealthy land owner of Wheatfield township, and one of the best known men in northern Jasper county, has continued to fall in health and there now seems no chance for his recovery. It is reported that gangrene has set in one of his feet and that on the advice of a Chicago surgeon he will have the foot amputated, the operation to take place in a few days.

MONON BRAKEMAN HAS BOTH LEGS CRUSHED.

Riding on Rear of Engine, Otto Hemphill is Caught Against Broken Car And Will Probably At about 1 o’clock this Wednesday morning, Otto Hemphill, of Lafayette, head brakeman on freight train No. 72 was probably fatally injured near the stockyards in Rensselaer. ' Some switching was being done and the engine was running down the main track. Hemphill was sitting on the rear of the tender on the board that extends across the rear. He did not know the .car was on the track and there was no light attached to it. The car was a disabled one, the drawhar being broken arid thus when the tender struck the car, Hemphill’s legs were crushed between the tender and the extension platform on the car. Other trainmen, including Oscar Hemphill, a brother of Otto, who was a brakeman on No. 91, which was passing No. 72 here, carried Otto to the station and the local surgeon of the road was summoned. A train was made up and the unfortunate man was taken to the hospital at Lafayette. He was so weak when the hospital was reached that the hospital surgeon considered it certain death to undertake the amputation of the legs, and he expressed the opinion that death was certain to ensue any way. Hemphill was thoroughly conscious when being taken to the hospital and asked if his life could be saved. He' has a wife and six children. Later— An effort was made to amputate Hemphill’s limbs, but he died on the operating table.
