terday morning, abost 8 o'clock All
the engines werepromptly on tho ground
and rendered very efficient service,
which, together with the force pump
and hose attached to the engine Of the

The damage was probably not more
than $1,000. The fremen all deserve
great credi, for the nlacrity and energy
with which they worked; some Of the
Engines were constantly throwing tre-
mendous streams OF water. We feel jus-
ly proud OF the Fire Department of this
town, for il Is IN admirable order through
out the Engines are all excellent and
powerful, the Hose perfect, and the
Firemen are young and strong and dar-
