 The roller skating rink on the Attn I letic field owned by Arthur c. Gris- wold was totally destroyed by fire last evening. It was insured for $1,O00. Nobody knows how the blaze started, but it is thought that gang of boys who were about the place at the time | had something to do with it. An alarm was sent in from box 34, corner | of West Main street and Watertown road. and although the department reached there as soon as possible, still the building was practically de stroyed before water was turned on. It required all the hose the companies had with them to reach the fire. The presence of the fremen saved the board fence that surrounds the grounds that would have been devoured up by the flames had it not been for the streams of water that were played up- on it. Viewed from the high grounds at a distance the blaze looked like a very destructive confa grafton, and nearly everybody thought the trolley car barns were going up in smoke. An immense throng of people rushed to the scene.
