Fire Follows Blast In J. H. Scales Home

Explosion Heard As Flames Burst From Mocking Bird Valley Residence

Residents of Mocking Bird Valley moved pianos, carpets, bric-a-brac and heavy furniture at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon when the home of Joseph H. Scales, treasure of the Belnap Hardware & Manufacturing Company, caught fire on the third floor and burned slowly downward. The structure of frame and stucco was destroyed. The loss was $25,000. partly covered by insurance. Several pieces of furniture on the second floor, prized as heirlooms, and nearly all the personal belongings of Mr. and Mrs. Scales were destroyed.

Mrs. Scales, her daughter, Miss Evelyn Scales, and her son, Edward Scales, 10 years old, were in the house at the time the fire was discovered. A sound like an explosion was heard, and, as Mrs. Scales began an investigation, neighbors ran in and reported that the third floor of the house was aflame. Mrs. Walter S. Clark, who lives a short distance away, called the Louisville Fire Department.

Through error the firemen took the wrong road and arrived after the structure was doomed. They prevented the spread of the fire to other buildings.

Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Duncan, Mr. and Mrs. Clark and many other neighbors, before the fire descended to the first floor, ran in and out of the building, carrying? ? out household effects and assisting servants in carrying out heavy furniture.

Although he had never driven an automobile before, little Edward Scales saved the automobile of his sister, Miss Evelyn Scales. The automobile was parked alongside of the house, and the flames were beginning to communicate to the top when he got in and drove it to safety.

Members of the Scales family were unable to account for the origin of the blaze. There was no fire in the furnace and no one was upstairs at the time.

The attendants were Miss Katherine Deaderick, of Jonesboro, as maid of honor, and as bridesmaids Miss Kathleen, sister of the bride, Miss Neil Hoss, Jonesboro; Miss Bessie Taylor, Bristol; Miss Alva Watson, Newbern, Va. The gentlemen attendants were R. L. Jordan, Radford, Va; W. H. Pepper, Rural Retreat, Va; Tom A. Davis, Knoxville.
