HOUSE DESTROYED BY FIRE

A house on Cherry avenue, owned by Theodore Halsdorf, and occupied by William Cade and family, was burned to the ground about 10 o’clock Wednesday morning. The blaze, which started in the cellar, presumably from the heater, soon gained headway because of the high wind. With the exception of a few pieces of the best furniture, the contents of the house were a total loss, since Mr. Cade carried no insurance. He and his family had just recovered from influenza. The Cades have five children, ranging in age from six months to nine years, the youngest of whom has been confined to a relative’s home in Albany for treatment for about ten weeks.
