An alarm of fire was sounded short
ly after fire o'clock yesterday after
noon.s, The firemen responded to the
call in great shape. The fire proved
to be in the kitchen of the house stu
ate No. $40 State street, occupied by
Mr.. VIM. Wilson and family. When
Chief Phillips discovered there was
but a slight blaze and that on the
ceiling directly over the kitchen stove,
he gave orders to fireman Keiffer. who
was at the nozzle of the chemical en-
CINE hose, to direct a stream upon the
burning boards. In less than five
minutes the fire was out. Had the
boys failed to respond as quickly as
they did, without doubt the house
would have been burned to the ground
1t is estimated that the damage will
not exceed twenty dollars.
