TWO HAVE NARROW
escape from fire
that Burns home
Adams Counly Men Trapped on Sec
ond Floor of Their Home by Fire
One Escapes Through Sec
ond Story Window.
West Union, Ohio, Sept. 14. Clif
ton and Eugene Hannah, sons of Mr.
and Mrs. D. A. Hannah, of the Fair
view neighborhood In Liberty town
ship, came near meeting death by suf
focation about one o'clock last Satur
day morning when they were awak
ened to find their sleeping room and
the entire unBtairs of the one and one
half frame family dwelling filled with
smoke from a blaze that had already
made considerable headway and wtiich
finally consumed the building.
Both young men, when awakened,
found themselves in a choking and
Wrangling condition from the heavy
volume of smoke, and Immediately be
gan crawling and feeHng their way to
the stairway in the adjoining room.
This exit, Eugene found and made
his way to the first floor, when he
(irouBed his parents. Clifton, however,
missed the stairway end crawled into
the room on the west. He succeeded In
locating the window in the room, from
which he swung his body and dropped
to the ground fourteen feet below. He
sustained only a slight sprain to one
if his angles.
The loud clans from the dinner bell
awakened some of . tho nearest neigh
bors, who were soon on the erotind
and assisted the family in carrying out
nraotleally all of the hpusohold goods
on the first floor, and all the canned
fruit and other articles from the cel
lar. Nothing, however, was saved from
the second story, where the fire had
3tarted, apparently in tho middel room
nto which the stairway opened.
. It it not known how the blaze
started. There had hum
coal fire about the house during the
day. Clifton and Eugone Hannah had
come to West Union Friday evening
to hear the band concert on the court
house square, and arrived bark home
about 10:30. It Is thought that one or
the other of them might have dropped
a burning match as they passed from
the stairway room to their bedroom.

RAINS BADLY NEEDED
IN PARTS OF STATE
Hilly Sections of Kentucky Are Suffer.
Ing for Good Rains Central and
Western Section's HaTe Showers.
A summary of weather and cron
conditions In Kentucky for the week
ending Tuesday, September 2, 1922 fol
lows: The first five days were hot and dry,
Intensifying drought conditions -in the
western half of the state, but favor
able for maturing late crops, where
moisture was sufficient. The week
ended with beneficial lacal showers in
the central and western counties, fol
lowed by much cooler weather. Late
corn, tobacco, and potatoes continued
to Improve In the northwestern coun
ties, whore these crops are In a fairly
good condition; but there was little
growth In the western section, where
their condition Is poor except on bot
tom lands. Corn and tobacco are "fir
ing" on hill upland. The showers late
In the week afforded somo relief local
ly In the central and western sections;
but the rainfall was not sufficient to
start general growth of crops or grass.
Reports Indicate that the late potato
crop is a failure In much of the west
ern section. Early tobacco, much re
duced In yield by dought, is now in
barn and curing rapidly. Cutting of
early corn has commenced generally,
but progress was slow because of the
hot, dry weather. Some plowing was
done In the northeastern counties, but
tery little in other sections because of
the hard, dry soil. This work can not
proceed until heavy rains occur. The
weather was favorable for cutlne and
curing alfalfa and cowpea hay, but the
ylolds have been reduced by drought.
Pastures revived somewhat in the
northeastern district, but they arc bad
ly died In the hilly district of the cen
tral and western section. Stock water
continues short in many localities.
