An Early Morning Fire At William Dixey Residence.

The fire company was called out at 6:30 this morning by a fire at the William Dixey residence on South Weston street. The fire caught from a defective chimney in the kitchen. The fire was confined to the attic and was put out with the aid of the chemical engine. The damage to the building was more than covered by 5300 insurance. No Insurance was carried on the household goods, which were taken from the building and suffered but little damage. Jim Rhoades, one of the firemen, was overcome by the smoke and was rendered unconscious for about five minutes. Calling Cards at The Republican.
