Last Nights Blaze.

About 7:30 o'clock last evening
Main street was thrown into a
cOmmotion by a cry of fire. A
blaze was discovered in Jakes"
storehouse which had been closed
only about half hour previous.
Hesitancy was not thought of, the
front door was bursted open and
willing hands with a bucket brig
ade soon had the flames subdued.
The chance discovery of the blaze
in its incipiency prevented what
might have been a repetition of
the big fire of former years. 1t is
supposed that the fire originated
by the work of rat in a case of
matches. The damage to the stock
largely by water will not exceed
$500 and the proprietors may feel
thankful for their narrow escape.
DIRD-Yesterday afternoon, at
Brock, at the age of 65 years, the
mother of w. S. Martin of that
place.
