Bystanders Prevent
Blaze From Spreading
+ Near neighbors of Mr. and Mrs.
Elbert: Coon, Lehman, would like to
express appreciation to the many
volunteer workers who prevented
Saturday night's barn blaze from
spreading to their homes. Mrs. Earl
Eustice, in asking for a note of
thanks in the Dallas Post, explained
that onlookers rushed into the field
and stamped out the shower of
sparks which threatened to start a
grass fire leading directly toward
seven houses.
Folks from as far off as Red
Rock, seeing the flaming beacon in
the sky, leaped into their cars and
drove to Lehman, with hundreds of
nearer neighbors arriving within
minutes after the blaze mush-
roomed at 5:30. The last fire en-
gine left at midnight, the blaze
but for awhile there was very real
danger to houses belonging to the
Arthur Kitchens, the Fred Kropps,
