inc could not be reached although sev-
eral attempts were made to eXtinguish
the blaze with eytinguishers. In a
very short time the hand engine of the
Western Engine companv was at the
reservoir onnosite Stockwell's store
and a stream was being thrown on the
building but il seemed to have but lit

As soon as the alarm was sounded in
West Brattleboro telephone message
was sent to the department headquar-
ters in this village and Steamer No. 3
as we'll as Hose cart No 10 were i'm
meiiately despatched to the scene.
The steamer and hose cart had nearly
reached the creamery before the alarm
was sounded here. As soon as some of
the tiremen had gathered at the engine
house they were taken to the fire by
special car. The steamer reached West

fallen before a stream from the steam
er was playing upon the building, and
it was evident that the whole struc-
ture was doomed. By O'Clock only
the front and east walls were standing
and in "A short time these fell leaving
only the 'front.' piazza Inc steamer re-
NAMED at work nntli about o:2o and

poll tax which they asked for at the
