Muscatine, Iowa, July 18. Heroism which parallels that of genuine fiction was exhibited by Charles Blow, 94 ! years old, when be saved his wife, 1 84 years old, from possible death in a fire which totally destroyed the resi dence of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Contriman at Frultland yesterday. The aged people were in the home alone at the time of the fire. They have been truest it.tha rnntHm.n home for the past several weeks, com- lcg here from their home at Elgin, III. Their daughter, Mrs. Contriman, waa out In the pasture, while Mr. Contriman was in the field. The fire was discovered by Mr. Blow just as he had descended to MI .the kitchen DreDar&tnrv tnwarH 22 curing his breakfast Considerable headway has already been made by the fire, a gust of flame enveloping him as he opened the kitchen door. Staggering from the noxious fumes he pluckily made his way upstairs where his wife was dressing. The aged woman was almost pros-rated by the smoke which filled the upstairs portion of the dwelling and her husband prac tically carried her down the flight of stairs. The passageway was dense with smoke and tha two old people were compelled to fight they way to safety blindly. Flames singed the hair of both, although neither was other wise injured. Barely a minute after they reached fresh air, the stairway crashed in. The home was burned to the ground in its entirety. Nothing was saved. The loss to the furniture is estimated at about 1,500, while that to the dwell ing about 11,2000. The house was own ed by Theodore Drake, a well known Muscatine island resident. But a small amount of insurance was carried. The dwelling had recently been re modelled but since the improvements the insurance had not been increased. Mr. and Mrs. Contriman had made ftheir home in Fruitland since last February, coming here from Chicago. Lingerie Waists Two tables full of special values in dainty voiles and lawns.
