house on School street burned out about
5 O'Clock Sunday morning and set fire to

prevent a serious confagration. Charred
and burning timbers were chopped away
and the hose brought into action where
the fire smouldered ready to burst into
flames at any moment. Some little dam
age was done to the ceilings and paper OF
the rooms by the water and smoke, and to

reach the burning timbers. From the
moment il was discovered the fire was
successfully kept under and finally sub
dued without calling out the Hose COM
