Wind-Driven Flames Play Havoc In Fashionable Section

The homes of Oscar W. Hays, George Wing, Jr. and J.B. Whitehead, on Appleton
Avenue, Macon, Ga., each a beautiful two-story residence, were destroyed by
fire, and the home of Eugene Anderson was damaged. The total loss is nearly
$30,000.

Capt. J.R. Bragg, of Company No. 4, was buried beneath the front porch of the
Hays home, and was rescued from the midst of the blazing timbers and debris
only after he had sustained severe injuries.

Eighty schoolboys formed a bucket brigade and assisted the firemen in fighting
the flames, which were fanned by the worst wind of the winter.
