Quite an excitement was caused last

which stood close to it. When discovered,
a blaze had started and it was pretty live
ly work for few moments. The fire ex-
of which there are some % in
the village, were brought into play and
the blaze was soon tout and danger past.
II was a close call, for had il not been dis
covered as soon as started, the fire would
have been a serious affair.
