Man's Pipe Fires House.
Kenton, O.—As a result of sparks flying from a pipe which G. W. Stevens was smoking, a blaze started that could not be checked before his residence was partially destroyed. The sparks had alighted in lace curtains back of Mr. Stevens and he did not become aware of the fire until his wife, who saw the flames issuing from the window, ran into the house and gave the alarm. The flames spread rapidly as the blaze had gained good headway. Only after hard fighting was the residence saved from total loss.
