SAVED BY A
DOG'S CRIES
Narrow Escape From Death
This Morning.
Dwelling House Between
Oakdale and Ebervale Is
Consumed by Flames at
an Early Hour Today.
A single dwelling house owned by G.
B. Marklo & Co., and occupied by Adam
Brehm and family, was destroyed by lire
at 1 o'clock this morning. The occu
pants lost all their furniture and barely
escaped with their lives.
The house stood on the Markle tract,
between Oakdale and Ebervale, and has
been occupied by Mr, Brehtn for some
years.
The family was awakened by theories
of a dog which was tied in the back
kitchen, and upon arising found the en
tire rear portion of their home in
flames.
Comparatively nothing was saved, as
Mr. Brohm, his wife and children had
scarcely time to vacate the building un
til tho lire spread to all sections of tho
structure.
The building was completely destroyed
and nothing but burning embers mark
the spot where it stood.
The value of tho house did not exceed
SSOO, and this loss is probably covered
by insurance.
Remodeling the Building.
Carpenters are at work remodeling
tho Tribune building. The heighth of
the second story will be increased several
feet and the presont fiat-roof will give
way to a peaked one covered with slate.
When completed, this will give the Tri
bune ofiico tho best-lighted composing
room in town. Its press-room, on the
first floor, Is one of the finest in the
region, and tho abovo will make tho
whole ofiico ono of tho most health
ful and well-arranged printing shops
in the county. The building will
also 1)0 strengthened throughout to boar
the weight of additional stock and
material.
The adjoining residence of Thomas A.
Buckley will be improved at the same
time by adding a slate roof to the build
ing.

Boy Entombed.
Elmer Drasher, a youth residing in
Alvintown, while playing ''mines" near
his home Wednesday afternoon, was en

who were returning from work, hoard
the cries and succeed in getting him out.
