HER MONEY WAS BURNED.
Hidden Beneath Carpet for
Fear of Bank Failure.
With the water pressure at thirty-six pounds, the Kansas City, Kas., fire department had a busy time yesterday answering calls where fires were set out by passing trains and by people who carelessly attempted to burn rubbish in their back yards with the wind-blowing at almost hurricane velocity. At noon the house of Mrs. A. M. Stephenson, at 114 Greeley avenue, was burned with $1,000 loss. Mrs. Stephenson had been afraid to deposit all of her money in the bank for fear of a failure and so had hid the $85 in bills beneath the carpet. The bills were burned.
