Two injured during fire OSAGE A rural Osage couple was injured Wednesday morning in a fire which severely damaged their home. Mr. and Mrs. Garrett Roby were listed in satisfactory condition at Mitchell County Memorial Hospital, Osage, after a blaze in their three-story home two miles north of Osage.

Mr. Roby, a farmer, reportedly saw smoke coming from his kitchen while he was working on his tractor. He ran to the house and tried to get in through the kitchen to help his wife. His wife, who was in a downstairs bedroom, responded to his call and jumped through a glass window. Mr.

Roby was treated for burns on his face and hands. Mrs. Roby was treated for cuts and bruises received in her jump. Heavy fire damage was reported to the kitchen and an enclosed porch, with smoke damage to the rest of the house.

The noon Dow Jones average of 30 industrials was off 6.26 at 839.72, and losers outnumbered gainers by about 5-to-l on the New York Stock Exchange.

Brokers said one major source of investor uneasiness was a continued rise in banks' prime lending rates, plus the Federal Reserve Board's declared intention to stock with a relatively restrictive monetary policy in order to fight inflation. Matsushita Electric was the Big Board's most-active stock, down at I6V4 in trading that included blocks of 125,000 and 102.600 shares. The Justice Department said Motorola's plan to sell its home-television receiver business to Matsushita raised antitrust questions. Motorola was down 1 to 52. On the American Stock Exchange, the market-value index fell 1.01 to 91.28.

The Big Board's most-active list included only one gainer, Occidental Petroleum, up 4 at 10li on news of sharply higher first quarter profits. The Amex volume leader was Houston Oil Minerals, down 1 at 39. The NYSE's noon composite index of all its listed common stocks stood at 48.35. down .46.
