The alarm of fire was sounded about
10 30 Saturday evening, which was found
to be located in G. G. Rice's store at the
upper end of Main street, formerly
owned by George S. Robbins. The fire
seemed to be confined to the front part
of the building and by keeping the doors
and windows closed the outside and
framework was saved, the smoke inside
was so intense that 70 one could get in,
tht refOre everything was burned; from
the rear of the main stnreroom neatly
everything was saved, although more or
less damaged. Aid No. Steamer COM
pany was on hand as soon as possible
and did excellent work; they were very
fortunate in having so good convenienres
for getting water. We unders tand Mr..
Rice had $1,000 insurance but his loss is
heavy. The night was rainy with no
wind which was very favorable, as had
it been at a time of high wind the
chances would have been great for Sc
rious fire.
