The two story dwelling house and out
buildings owned and occupied by Almon
Works in Mercer village, narrowly es
capped destruction by fire, Thursday
afternoon. The chimney in the main
house burned out in the morning and
shortly after the dinner hour the family
discovered smoke in the upper portion
of the buildings. An alarm was given.
the townspeople rallied with chemical
extinguishers and water pals and after
an hours hard work the flames were
brought under control. The fire caught
from the wood work around the chin
ney. The upper portion of the building,
to which the fire was confined. was filled
with dense smoke, making it almost i'm
possible to reach the flames, and it WAS
only by the most active and persistel t
exertions that the buildings were saved.
