GRAFTON.

On the night of the 18th of January,
Mr.. Gilbert Tyler's dwelling house was
burned to the ground, n little past mid
night, when the fire was first discovered
by lady boarder who slept In the sec
oni story Of the house. She was swak.
ened BY the smoke coming into her
room. She at once gave the alarm but
the fire had got such start that 1t was
not possible 10 check 1t with the little
help ut hand. Mr.. Tyler's place Is about
one-half mile from the nearest neighb0r
so they could not summon help. There
were only three who got there before
the house was In ashes, and 1t was near
ly consumed when they got there, so
they could give but little aid. Mr..
Tyler's folks lost nearly everything 10
the house, they had so little time to get
them out, and many things they did get
out burned after they were out from
sparks falling on them.
Mr.. Tyler Is man well along 10 years,
65 years old. Mr.. and Mrs. Tyler have
both been hard working people and had
8 nice comfortable home. Mr.. Tyler has
worked in the woods every winter but
one since he was nineteen years old, and
1t seems very hard for them at this time
Of life to lose their home, and see the ac-
foundations Of years swept away by fire,
and at midwin;er too. Mr.. Tyler had no
insurance on his house. hope the
good people Of surrounding towns will
lend him a helping hand. Nearly all
their bedclothes were destroyed and
much of their personal clothing was
burned. Mrs. Tyler lost nearly all her
clothes. Any assistance In money or
clothing will be gratefully received.
Contributions may be left with Arthur
U. Tyler, South Paris, or sent to Rufus
Farrar, Jr., Grafton, Maine, who will
see that the family have all that Is sent
them.
