 The old section house on the Iron Mountain railroad, north of town. which was an old land mark, so to speak, burned to the ground Thursday night of last week. It caught from spark from a passing locomotive and burned slowly owing to un- favorable winds, but owing to it's re- moteness. gained unextinguishabe headway before help arrived. We are informed that the building had been burning something over an hour, when the town was thrown into an unneces- sary state of excitement, their peaceful slumbers rudely broken, and the fire companies 'called to arms" by fusil- ade of shots from sundry minimizing guns. The question arises, why should an alarm be turned in under such cir cumstances? and why not fine these gentlemen for shooting within the city limits? It is barbarous and ridiculous for every pistol toter in town to pull his gun and perforate the air every time a bright light can be dlscerned on the horizon. It is not even necessary when a fire occurs in town. We have the telephone, and an alarm can be sent in from any part of the city, and the fire bell rung, at any time, thus giving a proper and definite alarm. Let this pistol shooting cease, and don't call out the fire department un- ha har in and they can be of service. The alarm last Thursday night was absurd and ridiculous.
