A fire originating in little house
near a lumber shell building of S
Smith 4 Co.'S establishment in Gull
ford was discovered last nj ght about
10 O'Clock and striking ont from this
point in semi circle before it was
conquered had swept away these two
buildings with the shed full OF lumber
and the large saw mill and former
blacksmith shop belonging to Smith
a. Co, and the barn and hen house of
E p Squires, the former Levi Boyden
place, besides practically running :he
house buildings in all.
There was strong wind blowing,
sending sparks and burning pieces in
to the air SO that but for the aid of
steamer No from the Brattleboro fire
department the whole village ur to
the hotel corner would surely have
been laid in ashes and very probably
the rest of it. The steamer was dragged
to the scene by four horses and did
magnificent work, not returning till 3
a m.
Smith 4 Go had $500 insurance
about the value OF the machinery In the
mill. The building which cost some
81, 900 besides the lumber, seven sheds
and lot of tools belonging to them
and the other structures belonging to
them were total loss Mr. Squires'
insurance is not learned but including
the smashing and wetting of goods
thrown out must have been heavy
The fire was probably incendiary
and theory is that it and the two
recent fires were the work of the man
who tried to set jerome kinht's build
ing afre. This is time when the
services of fire marshal would count
and it is especially aggravatlng at this
iuncture during an effort to get lower
insurance rates. Two men were in
