The Boarding House at CIRCUITS Mills
Burned SUNDAY.


There was a fire at CIRCUITS mills Sunday
when the boarding house occupied by o.
f. Prentiss and family was burned. Grout
Brothers loss on the building is partly
covered by 5000 insurance. Mr.. Premises
loss on beds, bedding, wood in shed, etc,
is about S100, on which there is no insur-
ance. The fire is supposed to have caught
from sparks from the chimney falling on
the wood shed. The shed burned fercely.
The hydrant was frozen and an hour was
taken in thawing it out. The fire on the
main building was thought at one time to
be under control, but it worked its way in
side the partitions Most of the furniture,
provisions, etc, were saved. The extreme
cold and high wind made fighting the fire
extremely uncomfortable and other build
ings were threatened. Several narrow es-
capes from falling into the flames are re-
ported. The employers and men worked
with a will against the devouring element
until 3 p. NJ. The boarders are scattered
through the families and Mr. Prentiss will
occupy the new cottage, to which an addi-
ton will be made at once to be used until
spring, when new boarding house will be
built.
