The novelty wood works of Il. l..
Mitchell came very near having dis
astrous fire yesterday afternoon. About
4.l5 a chute leading from the upper floor
to the engine room was discovered to be
on fire but the blaze was small and
quickly extinguished. A few minutes
later fire was discovered near the Chin
ney on the roof where it had burned
through and WAS then burning briskly in
an unfinished space between the roof and
attic. Two lines of hose were quickly
strung, one in the building and the other
on the roof, and in few minutes this
also was extinguished. Had a strong
west wind been blowing at the time, the
result might have been sadly different,
tho building and contents being of very
infiammable nature. The loss will be
small, confined to the damage of the roof
of the building and to some stock in the
attic by water. No alarm was rung in.
