A FIRE AT EAST DEERING.
The alarm of fire at S.45 yesterday fore
noon called the department. to blaze in
the stable of Mrs. Caroline A. James
on Verandah street, East Deering. The
lire caught in some straw and had it
not been for the prompt arrival of the
ocean street hose company the fire would
have proved disastrous one. 1t Is
thought that the fire was caused by boys
playing with lighted matches. The dam
age to the property will be very small.
