gained considerable headway, and as it
was plainly an impossibility to save the
cottage, efforts were confined to pro-
tecting adjoining houses.
Maher was at work when the house
caught, but was sent for at once. He
estimates his loss at $3.50, with no in
surance. Mrs. Maher, who was at home
a few minutes before the fire broke out,
had left gasoline stove alight ta heat an
oven while baking bread. She left the
house with her little boy, going to
neighbor's for few minutes. When she
returned the house was totally de-
stroyed. 1t is supposed that pet dog
knocked the stove over in her absence.
