Walter Scott Found Unconscious

New York, 1895

The summer residence of John J. J. Canvin at Hicksville was discovered to be on fire Tuesday night. The fire department was called out and the building was saved. The greater part of the damage done was by water. Walter Scott, a young man who has charge of the house, was found in an unconscious condition from the effects of the smoke he inhaled. The damage will amount to $1,500; covered by insurance.
