discovered n light on the back side

by ringing the bell and screams,
but as it was bctween eleven and
twelve o'clock every one seemed to
be sound asleep; howevet all was
done that could be, but nothing was
saved. The crowd turned their
attention to saving of Churchwell 5

TO it except slight scorching. The
residences Of Logan, Shannon, Kin;

watched, and several others had to
keep the fire brushed from the roofs

fire in the stoves for day or two
