Mouse sets house ablaze
FORT SUMNER, N.M. (AP) — A mouse got its revenge against a homeowner
who tried to dispose of it in a pile of burning leaves. The blazing
creature ran back to the man's house and set it on fire.
Luciano Mares, 81, of Fort Sumner said he caught the mouse inside his
house and wanted to get rid of it.
"I had some leaves burning outside, so I threw it in the fire, and the
mouse was on fire and ran back at the house," Mares said from a motel
room Saturday.
Village Fire Chief Juan Chavez said the burning mouse ran to just
beneath a window, and the flames spread up from there and throughout the
house.
No one was hurt inside, but the home and everything in it was
destroyed.
