Fireman Douse Delta Fire Friday Night Fire threatened the W. E. Black home in Delta Friday night and for a time things looked black indeed as smoke poured out of the basement. Delta Volunteer Fire Department was summoned at 9:10 p.m., and soon had the blaze under control. Mr. Black wishes to say right here that he and his family are proud of the firemen and thank them for their good work. The fire was blamed on the oil furnace, which had gone out that day. Some oil had filled in the pot and when the furnace was started again the fire roared up in a hurry. hur-ry. "Doc" and his son Keith and Lynn Johnson were nursing the furnace along after minor repairs they had made, and found they had too much fire to contend with. They beat about with wet burlaps and when Doc spied flames eating along the floor joists he went for the hose and his wife, Ella, gave the fire alarm. The firemen were there in the well known jiffy, and damages were held to about $100 for charred char-red flooring. No estimate was made of the time and labor a-head a-head for the Blacks to clean the smoke out of their house, woodwork wood-work and walls. They were glad they still had a house to work on. 1 V - .
