Caused Excitement.

There was cor siderable excitement at
Vertin Bros store on Oak street early
last evening and in less time than it
takes TO tell il crowd OF ] so people had
gathered. The cause OF all the excite
ment was the burning out OF an armature
which connected the electric lights in the
store. The armature was at the side
door and in burning out it caught to a
little woodwork inside and caused a
small blaze. 1t was an old style arma-
ture and was soon to have been replaced.
The blaze caught to some woodwork and
for few minutes it was feared a small
confiagration would be in order. Some
OF the linemen were soon on hand and cut
the wires which put a stop to all the
trouble.
