SMALL FIRE
Cottage Gets a BId ScOrch-
 ing From Flames

Fire nearly gutted the old Lewis res idence on the alley between State and Main streets and Second and Third av- enues yesterday afternoon. The flames must have started from sparks from the steam wood saving machine running on the vacant lot across the alley. They were first discovered by the sen ,inel at the Sylvester block shooting up from the rear of the cottage. He gave the signal and the fire bell soon after gave the general alarm. The two hose companies and the hook and ladder company responded, and in Q few minutes put the flames out.
 The cottage was formerly occupied by Messrs. Zinkam and Mcleod, but for two weeks the building has been vacant. The loss is estimated at about sljO.
