There was narrow escape from fire on
Water street yesterday afternoon. F. E.
Gray, carrier on r. F. d. route No. 2, was
working in his garden on Franklin street
| when he observed smoke issuing from
he east end of e. Bonsey & Sons sash
and blind factory on Water street. The
occupants of the building were quickly
notified, and prompt action put out the
fire. No serious damage resulted.
The report that the government has
purchased land adjoining the present Gus
tom house and postoffice lot is wholly
erroneous. A question has arisen as to
whether the building occupied by 9. F

on government property. 1t is not likely
that the building will be disturbed until
the rights of the present owner, of the
city, OF the county and Of the government
are clearly determined.
