fire alarm was turned in from
beyond East Highlands on what
Is commonly known as the drift track
at $3.50 this afternoon, to which
all three of the fire companies
promptly responded. 1t originated in a
negro cottage from kindling a fire with
oil and as the wind was brisk two other
houses adjoining caught and the fire
gained considerable Roadway before the

troll. 1t was necessary to lay 1900 feet of
hose to extend from the Lee corner on
Highland avenue as that was the near
est plug to the fire. The firemen did
excellent work and in a few minutes
after the hose was laid they had the
fire under CONTROL and prevented it from
spreading further. One OF the houses
belonged to Haywood and Pettifoy. one
to the Penny Savings Bank and one to
Joe Vaugn. Each valued at $3.50. 1t
