Last Friday at $40 In the morning
the steeple Of the new Episcopal chapel
was discovered on fire. Although the
hour was such that little, ordinarily,
could be expected of volunteer fire
company, yet inside Of ten minutes
after the alarm was given our local
company was on the ground with the
ing on the blaze. After an hours hard
work the fire was put out and the only
damage was the loss of the roof of the
steeple, which will cost 500 to
repair. The chemical engine is q
gratifying success and in the six fires
it has fought has won an everlasting
victory in each case. The amount Of
property which the engine has saved
will amount TO several thousand dollars
and no one desires to gainsay the
thought that 1t is a necessary adjunct
TO the success and prosperity of our
town. The cause Of the fire was due to
q stroke of lightning.
