no effect, owing to a lack of hose. The
distance was several thousand feet from
the nearest hydrant, situated in front of
the bleachery. A large number of willing
hands, however, with pals of water from a
well stayed the flames somewhat, and the
hook and ladder company did effective
work in leveling the walls of the building,
thus keeping the fire from spreading.
The house and outbuildings owned by
