FRIDAY NIGHTS FIRE.

New Milford was once again threat
ened with serious fire, Friday night.
AbOuty 8 p. m. fire broke out in the
restaurant of Carl Montani in the fine
new block owned by H. S. Mygatt and
Mrs Plumb, and was subdued after a
fierce fight of half hour or more by
the local hose company. The ire was
caused by the explosion of a gasoline
stove in the Montani restaurant. The
flames leaped up and ignited the wood
en- PARTITION in the store and were
working up into the store OF A. L.
Conkey. The fire was hard to get at,
for it was working between the floor
of Mr. Conkey's store and the ceiling
below. The tiremen finally went in
and cut holes in Mr. Conkey's store and
soon drowned the flames out. The loss
on the block will be about $500, on
John Bojoirno'S: shoe stock some $3.50
or more, while Mr. Conkey's loss may
reach up into the hundreds. None Of
the instruments were seriously injured,
but some of the cases were slightly
damaged. He had one of the finest
music stores in the county, which will
be put back in fine order at once.
Carlson & Meloy, the bakers, sustained
Slight loss, while Mr. Montani's loss
is almost total. The Water Witch
Hose Co. are deserving great praise for
their prompt and satisfactory work.
