Short Circuit Thought
Cause of Blaze at Niemuth Home
- Neenah - Smoke and soot caused considerable
damage to the entire interior and clothing and furnishings
- at the Arthur Niemuth home, 165
N. Western avenue, Saturday night. The Niemuths were visiting
relatives at Larsen when the fire broke out.
- Firemen said the fire probably started
from a short circuit in a light switch in a bedroom. The house
is a
- new home which the Niemuths have
occupied for about 18 months.

- Visiting Relatives
- Firemen were called at 7:06 p.m.
Saturday when an employe[e] at the Neenah Electrotype company
- noticed smoke coming out of an attic
vent and called over to a neighbor, William Quella, 169 N. Western
avenue, who notified the fire department.
- The house had been locked since
1 p.m. when the Niemuths and their two children left to visit
relatives at
- Larsen.
- The entire interior has to be redecorated
and all the clothing, including that which was in the dresser
- drawers, as well as all furniture
and furnishings was blackened by the soot and smoke.
- Mrs. Niemuth said she was able to
borrow some clothes from relatives until she can get her washing
and
- dry cleaning done. The family is
staying with relatives at Larsen meanwhile. A load of clothing
which had been in a hamper was destroyed by the fire which burned
much of the bathroom, a bedroom wall and several door frames.
