AN EARLY MORNING BLAZE.
OF the Gazette,

ALBANY. TEX, Oct. s.-Yesterday
about o'clock p, M, the alarm Of fire
sounded from the east side of town.
In less than two minutes an excited
throng Of our citizens were hurrylng
in the direction Of the blaze, which
came from the roof of G. j. Shields
dwelling house. The flames had en-
veloped the entire structure before
sufficient water could be carried TO the
scene, consequently, save few articles
Of furniture and bedding, nothing was
saved. An insurance OK $500 covered
the property. The town has been
peculiarly fortunate, this being only
the second small fire since the organl-
cation, and in both instances the loss
was comparatively small.
Since the fire, the practlcability Of
providing some efficient means for pro-
lection against this devastating ele-
ment, Is freely discussed by our clti-
zens, and we think the probabilities
are that Albany will coon have at least
hook and ladder company.
