Swiggett residence at 606 South-east Second street caught ire early Sunday morning and the house was. badly damaged before the fire was put out.

4 At about 11:30 Saturday night Mehl Holmes, express messenger, while going home passed the house and smelled smoke, but as he could see nothing he supposed that some one had been burning trash. A little later in the evening another passer-by noticed smoke coming out of the chimney and could smell wood burning. A few minutes later Dan Rigler was called up over the phone and told of the smoke. Dan dressed and went to investigate. By this time smoke was pouring out the chimney and windows in dense clouds and the fire department was hurriedly called.

The call was put in at 12:35 a. m. The fire company soon arrived at the scene of the conflagration, but as the house was so full of smoke the firemen could not enter. In the mean time Dan Rigler had been using a small garden hose to good advantage, keeping the fire which had burned through the floor from spreading. At last an entrance was made through the back of the house by: Lew Goerman, who had been attracted by hearing the alarm.

By errying a lantern and keeping his head within a foot of the floor, Lew managed to creep into the sitting room from where the fire could be seen in a large' closet in the bed room.
