Description

Small Blaze in Platte City - - The house of Lucetta Beaty, colored, caught fire Tuesday night about 7 o'clock and burned to the ground. Only the children were at home when the fire started, and nothing was saved but one trunk. An alarm was given, but not until it was too late to check the blaze. The fire was caused by a lamp being dropped on the floor.
