TWO DWELLINGS AT DESLOGE ARE BURNED. Early last Monday morning fire broke out in the four room dwelling occupied by Dr. R. B. Lester at Desloge and destroyed the building and also a four-room dwelling owned and occupied by Dave Fleming, which was next to it. The first caught in the kitchen of the Lester home and is supposed to have originated either from an overheated cook stove or from the explosion of a lamp. Mrs. Lester was the only one in the building at the time and was aroused from sleep by the roof of the kitchen falling in. Practically all the household furniture was burned. Mr. Fleming managed to get all his furniture out before his dwelling was destroyed. The Lester building was owned by Dr. L. G. Williams, of Elvins. The loss on both the dwelling and furniture is partially covered by insurance. Note: The above article came to me as an undated newspaper clipping. However, on the reverse side of the clipping is a public notice which was signed and sealed by the Circuit Clerk on the 12th day of September, 1908, to be published in the Farmington News.
