The roof of Mr.. G. H. Prichards
house on Third street caught fire
Monday morning from a live spark
falling upon it which was emitted by
the chimney. Luckily for Mr.. Prit-
chard and the rest of the property
owners in that neighborhood the fire
was discovered before it had gained
much Roadway and was put out with
few buckets of water administered
by Ernest Shirer, who was at work
on an adjoining roof The chemical
engine failed to arrive before the
flames were extinguished An effort
was made, however, to empty the
cylinder of the engine but it for some
reason would not work In the event
of the fire having been of danger
GUS nature the town would have been
at the mercy of the flames. Since
Monday the engine has been given a
thorough overhauling and put in
good condition in case it is required.
