FIRE AT FAIRFIELD.
Continued from page ~

tents. Mr.. Byrons lost all his house
hold goods, a large sum of ready
money, the exact amount being I'M
known to him, and a valuable high
blooded colt that persisted in the stable.
His total loss is estimated at about
$1,000. with no insurance.
Mr.. Sawyer's house was valued at
about $4,000 and he had about $1,000
worth Of household goods, including
a number of valuable paintings, stored
in an upper room. He rs in the en-
ploy of the Waterville & Oakland
Electric Road and with Mrs. Sawyer,
was planning to live in Ookland, this
summer. so their household goods were
stored when they rented their house.
Mr.. Sawyer carried insurance in the
C. *. Mathews agency in Water
vile, $500 on the house and stable, and
$I15.So on the furniture.
Mr.. Pratts loss is difficult to estimate
accurately. but it is thought that. it
will be about $500 on the house and
$500 on the furniture. This is covered
by $500 on the house, $500 on the stable
and $500 on the furniture, also in the
Mathews agency
Mr.. Richardson's loss is another hard
one to get at, but it is covered by $1,000
insurance. The loss of the other fires
will doubtless be covered by 800 all
right
The people in the neighborhood put
in several pretty anxious hours and
they feel extremely fortunate to get
out of it as well as they did. AS it is
the loss is certainly heavy enough, but
it might have been much heavier.
The fires of Saturday afternoon We're
marked by many strange things, anC
one of the strangest was the following
V. r. Common n3d been one of the moss

need for his overcoat, sent it to the

with little difficulty, but with a little
better show would have caused serious
