The fire department made a run
shortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon
to the residence of G. A. Smith, near
the west end of Main street. The
blaze was small one and was caused
by the explosion of a gasoline stove.
There was very little damage and the
flames were eXtinguished without
throwing water. The North Side wag-
on is being repaired today and the
South Side wagon and team are being
used at the central station. The
horses are not used to their temporary
quarters and were slow in getting into
the harness when the alarm was turn
ed in at the station this afternoon. This
is the third fire in three days and the
firemen look for rest now, as fires
usually come in groups of three.
