The alarm of fire was given about
II o'clock Tuesday morning. The roof
of Gadsen's blacksmith shop on Cathe-
rine street was discovered in blaze, and
citizens responded promptly. The fire
engine was brought out, but "bucket
brigade" mounted the building and had
tho fire under control before water was
thrown by the engine. Had the fire
gotten beyond control it would have
meant another big conflagration, as the
blacksmith shop has number of small
frame buildings adjoining and leading
up to the larger stores and dwellings on
Main street. A heavy wind was blowing
at the time.
