thing needful, that II will put ont fire Of any
possible magnitude, and that the town should
be fortified against the ravages Of the fire
fend by possessing full stock Of "sxtinguish-
ers." During the fire in the Dunlap block
the squirt-gunnists failed to turn up, but i'm
mediately after they renewed their efforts
with the Council with fresh vigor, and our
city fathers promised to witness trial of the
extinguishers. A large pile Of boxes and
: boards was ignitsd near the Ohio Southern
depot and . large crowd gathered to look on.
As soon as the pile was enveloped in flames the
agents began operations, but al to no purpose,

grafton. The crowd hooted and jeered and
somebody asked II the squirt-guns would put
out cigar, and ct the last reports the gents
still remain on their ear.
