The residence of +. s. Dewey came
near being destroyed by fire last Thurs
day. The fire originated from defec-
tive chimney, and when discovered the
upper part Of the house was well wrapped
in flames. An alarm was sounded and
the fire boys were promptly at the place.
Hardly any water pressure could be got,
and IL was soon discovered that plug
had blown out. The water company
was laying new pipe on Eighth street,
and the water pipe there had been dis
connected and plugs drove in the OPEN
ings. The fire pressure blew out these
plugs, and consequently but little pres
sure could be obtained. Water could
only be thrown few feet This made
the work OF the firemen difficult one
but after hard struggle they conquered
tho fire. The entire roof OF the resi-
dcncc was ruined, and the plaster Of the
various rooms will have to be renewed.
Tho insurance amounted to S1,7O0, and
will cover the loss.
