FIRE AT EAST DEERlNG
Which Destroyed Two Buildings at Rus
sells Ship Yard.

Yesterday afternoon shortly after five
o clock the boiler house and work shop of
Russell's ship yard at East Deering took
fire and were entirely destroyed. These
buildings were on the easterly side of the
Grand Trunk railroad tracks and only a
few feet from them. The plant was sit
uated at the East Deering end of the
Grand Trunk bridge. One alarm was
pulled in and the Woodford's Morrill, S
Corner and East Deering hose companies
turned out but only succeeded in saving
pile of hard pine lumber near the boiler
shop. The plant was owned by George
Russell and has not been used for some
time. Only few tools, the boiler and
engine were in the building at the time
and the entire loss will not be much over
$500. There was no insurance on the
property. 1t was believed by Mr.. Russell
that the buildings caught fire from the
sparks of a passing locomotive. Many
people believed that the buildings were
set on fire by tramps.
