A fire alarm was blown about half past
seven Saturday morning for fire in f. Z.
STATIONS house on High street caused by
gasoline stove, but the fire was extinguish-
ed before the fire department arrived. 1t
is not really known how the fire started
but it is thought that more oil escaped than
could be vaporized and the excess caught
fire from one of the burners. Wet blankets
were thrown upon the fire but had no eff
feet upon it. When Mr.. Stratton tried to
remove the stove the handles came off and
the tank fell to pieces and more of the gas
oline was added to, the blaze. The fumes
overcame Mr.. Stratton, but passer-by sue
ceeded in getting the stove away from the
building and thus more serious fire was
averted. The damage to the building is
| estimated at about $50.
