| Our citizens were called out from
their beds Sunday morning after three
O'Clock by the fire alarm bell. Volu-
| mes of smoke were issuing from one
end of the calaboose and human voice
calling for rescue sounded out on the
air. The night Waterman having no
key and the marshal nor deputy mar
shall not being present, it was neces-
sary to break the lock, which was done
! by the vigorous use of Ratchet and
pick. The door once open, Mr.. Bub
Wallace emerged from the dense
smoke, while the firemen began an in
vestigation and found blanket burn
ing which created the smoke. This
was pulled out. of the calaboose, and
what was supposed to be threatening
confiagration was at an end. Our cit
izcns then repaired to their peaceful
homes to court slumber again.
