alarm was sounded almost the whole
male population of the town had ar
rived ut the scene of the fire, which
proved to be the residence occupied
by G. N. Wallace and owned by Paul
Anders. When discovered by Mr..
Wallace the fire had gained quite Il
start and after trying to stay it's pro-

attention to saving his household
