ANOTHER FIRE.
SOME FIRE DAMAGE, A LITTLE WATER
DAMAGE AND A GOOD DEAL Or
SMOKE DAMAGE.

Alta few minutes before midnight Sat-
urday night, the second fire alarm for
the week sounded. The fire was In the
roof Of the ell of the house on High
Street, owned by j. H. Stuart and oecu-
pied by W. ii. Doten and Frank Turner.
The smoke WAS very dense, the roof
seeming to be packed full Of IL. A hole
was cut 10 the roof, and some Of the
ceiling ripped of below, and q few
minutes play of water disposed OF the
fire.
The roof Of the ell IL considerably
damaged, being all charred inside, and
number Of holes burned through. Only
one room WAS badly wet down. though
some water ran down In the main part
of the house. There was no fire In the
main part OF the house, but the smoke
penetrated through IL. and burst out at
eyery crevice. Most Of the wood work
will need to be painted. Mr.. Stuart
estimates that Ii will take $500 to 800
to repair the damsge. Insured.
The fire was apparently started BY
tall lamp which stood on shelf Ia the
kitchen, and the top OF which came With
| IN a few inches of the ceiling. This
seems to have heated the plaetertng
through until IL set FIRE to the lsthine
above. and from that point the hrt
spread over the whole interior OF th<
attic. The hole through over the plac<
