MUST HAVE BEEN DREAMING.
Fireman's Son Thought He Saw a
Blaze; Called Department.
Emmet Simpson, 12 years old, a stepson of "Con" Shine, the farrier at No. 1 fire station in Kansas City, Kas., rushed into fire headquarters all out of breath last night about 10 o'clock and told the fireman that his father's house at 525 Ann avenue was afire. Two companies responded to the boy's alarm, but when they reached the house no signs of fire could be found. When the boy was asked why he called out the department at that hour of the night for nothing, he said "he thought he saw a fire."
"My brother, 5 years old, my baby brother, 2 years old, and myself were asleep in the house on the floor. I woke up and thought I saw a big light. I carried the baby out in the yard, and leaving my brother to watch him, I ran to the fire station."
