Our village narrowly escaped seri-
Gus confagration last Friday. About 3
p. m. fire was discovered in the roof of
the large building known as the Fletcher
block, bought about two weeks ago by
Geo Ide for $4,000. A general alarm was
immediately given by blowing the whis-
tie of the shifting engine in the railroad
yard and the steam whistle at the shops.
The. fire engine was at work in less than
10 minutes after the alarm was given
and after sharp fight of 20 minutes the
fire was under control, though for a
time it seemed impossible to save the

for both engine and men did excellent
work. We shall probably hear no more
sneering remarks about the sold tub,
for on this occasion it saved our village
from the loss of tens of thousands of
dollars worth of property. 1t is under

and that all the occupants of the build

their loss. The total loss to all parties
is estimated at $4,000. Cause of fire un-
