three fires, all in one week.; but fortu-

company soon put it out, and on the same
| day blaze broke out on roof of freight
depot, catching from locomotive or the
mill; this was also extinguished withoua

covered on the roof of the Churchill store

from locomotive sparks. A few shingles
were ripped up, which was about the ex-
! tent of damage.
