W. H. GANNETTs CAMP COMFORT" BURNED NOV a. 1895

Camp Comfort, the pretty little camp
on the hill west of the State House
owned by w. II. Gannett, was burned
Monday night. Furthermore the work
is supposed to have been ineendiary, or
that of tramps, as the camp has not
been occupied for two weeks and no
member of the Gannett family has vis-
tied it for over three days.
The fire was first discovered by Mr..
Harvey, who lives short distance
above Ganeston Park, the home of Mr..
Gannett, at little past o'clock in
the evening. 1t was but a few min
utes after Mrs. Gannett had arrived
home from a call and at that time no
light was seen. Mr.. Gannett and two
men went to the camp, which is about
a half a mile south Of the Gannett

This pretty camp built upon the
beautiful spot which overlooks the en-

built of logs about four years ago, at
a cost of a little over $1,000. The main
part of the building was about 20 feet

to the main building. Upon the sec
