FIRE TUESDAY.
/ A fire broke out Tuesday morning about 2
o'clock in the wood-shed adjoining Mrs. Mil

time and thought she could hear noise that
sounded like the cracking of fire, she got up
and found the wood-shed burning. She did
not stop to arouse the household but immed-
lately ran up ladder, which always stands
outside of the wood-shed, and began to put
snow on the fire and shout fire as loud as she
could. The shouts aroused her sister Laura,
who got up and started off without any cloth
ing except her night-robe and rang the bell
of all the houses on the street as far as Albert
Williams and asked them all to come and
help them. She realized that if the house
was saved they would have to have some men
on the spot at oIce. In very short time
their might TO pnt out the flames. The wood.
but the house was not damaged beyond hole
burned through the roof. Mrs. Milliken and
her daughters extend their thanks and ap
probation of the services the men so willing
ly performed in saving their home. They dc
not know how the fire could have started
The house is insured.
