Fire! Fire!

Shortly after IL O'Clock Saturday
night our citizens were routed from
their beds by schrill fire whistles
and changing bells. Hurrying out
they readily learned that the fire
was at the McIlhon residence on
Commerce street The fire and hook
and ladder companies We're there
with commendable promptness, and
through their effors the flames were
conquered with comparative ease.
The fire originated in chimney of
the wing and before subdued had
destroyed the roof of the same and
scorched the siding of the main
building. AS usual in such eases fur
niture and other things in the house
were taken out in hurry and as a
natural consequence more or less
damage, while the large streams of
water it was necessary to throw onto
the flames to squelch them also cut
quite figure in damaging furniture,
and Mr.. kanap and Mr.. Roy jack
son who occupied the house are
thereby losers to a considerable ex-
tent. The former we understand had
some insurance, the latter none. The
building was protected by insurance.
Certain it is that the promptness and
activity of the fire company saved
the structure from complete destruc-
ton
