A Narrow Escape.

This town had another narrow escape
from eonfiagration yesterday. Sparks
from the smoke stack of the saving ma
chine fell upon the building in the rear
of Coffin Bro. store, where they lgnited,
setting fire through the cracks in the
ceiling to the inside lining, which was
burning several hours before discovery.
The room was used for storing oil.
Had the flames gained much greater
headway it would have been difficult to
extinguish them. Another narrow es-
cape occurred at the Capital Saloon, two
lamps having been left temporarily in
the oil room burning during the alb
sence of the proprietor and came near
bursting before they were discovered.
A fire could have been easily started.
These two incidents should make every
one cautious. This town cannot afferd
an extensive confiagration now.
