The residence of Fred Fuller at Roselawn wus burned to the ground early Thursday morning and most of Mr. Fuller’s household effects were also destroyed. Mr. Fuller was boxing and crating his effects preparatory to moving to Gary, where he is now employed. The fire was discovered at about 2 o’clock in the morning and is thought to have started from an exploding lamp. Mr. Fuller’S daughter was married only a week before to Mann Taber and they were in a room on the second story of the house and their escape was shut off from below by the fire. He let his wife down from the window by holding her hands and letting her down the side of the house as far as possible before letting her drop. "He then jumped from the window and in alighting suffered a severely sprained ankle. The house and contents were insured. Mr. Fuller had purchased the property from T. H. West, who now lives at Assiniboia,‘Sask., Canada.
