Fire caught in the woodwork around the
stove in S. J. Gushee's store Nov 18th. The
store was closed at the time, and but for the
timely discovery of the fire by May Ness,
who had occasion to visit the store, the
building, and in all probability many of the
adjoining buildings, would have been des-
troyed. Those who attempted to enter the
store when the door was opened were oblig-
ed to retreat because of the density of the
smoke which filled the room. Finally
Fred Davidson succeeded in reaching the
spot where the fire had started by crawl
ing the length of the store on his hands and
knees, and extingushed the flames by the
application of a few pals of water. With
the exception of large hole burned through
the floor but little damage was done. u.
