7:l5 clock, an alarm of fire was sounded
1t was soon ascertained that the Brumby
Chair Factory was on fire. The engine
room was enveloped in flames when the
fire engine got in position to turn on
stream of water. Heroic work was done
by the fire department and citizens with
buckets and the fire was kept confined to
the engine room, which was entirely de.
stroyed, entailing loss of several thou>
sand dollars, with some insurance. The
dead wall between the engine room and
the main factory building prevented the
fire from spreading. Our citizens felt that
the factory must be saved. For it to have
been destroyed would have been serious
calamity to our town. AS it is it will
throw out of employment large number
OF hands for several weeks. 1t is thought
that the damages all will be repaired in
three or four weeks and the factory again
resume operations.
