The house of Patrick Boylan. who
resides at what is known as the "Blaz-
ing Stump,H between here and Rich
mondale, was discovered to be on fire
about II o'clock Saturday night. As
there is no means of combating a fire
there the structure was soon burned
to the ground. Very few of the house
hold goods were saved. The building
was 16x24 and two stories high, with a
basement. 1t is not known how the fire
originated. Boylan's household goods

John McDermott, who halls from

day to celebrate. About o'clock in
the afternoon he went into DR.. Dwyer's
drug store and made a demand which
the doctor did not see fit to grant.
Then the young man began to use very
abusive language. Not satisfied with
such a tame proceeding as talking, he
assaulted one of the bystanders, but
only succeeded in being rather roughly
handled for his trouble. Then John
went out on the sidewalk and talked
! from a distance in a most lurid and
| threatening manner. Special Officer
Brennan happened along about that
time and placed the unruly youth under
| arrest He went along with the officer
all llEnt loI lc" SoiNS' but SuuuSlliy
| attacked him viciously and struggle
between the prisoner and the guardian
| of the peace was in progress when Con-
stable NJ. j. Walsh came to the rescue.
| McDermott was subdued after an ad-
monitory rap or two and was lodged
in the borough jail. Yesterday morn
ing he was brought before Burgess
Walker. His face bore unmistakable
signs OF the conflict, He was also peni-
tent. After hearing the evidence in the
case the burgess assessed him s11.st
and he was released.
James, Watson, of Lake Como, was
