the time of the accident and with the
assistance of Charles +. Wells, took
Mr.. Yatter to Mrs. Laviolette's g, where

CHRISTMAS BLAZE.

The burning out of chimney in
the ]. j. Williams block, shortly after
8 O'Clock Friday morning, created con-
siderable excitement and resulted in
the fire alarm being rung in. People
across che street from the building had
noticed smoke issuing from various
openings in the house but had thought
of nothing serious until Mrs. Hoffman,
who occupies the upper tenement,
opened the window and called for
help. When the window was opened
the smoke poured out in clouds. Will
Rivers ran across the street. rushed
into Gross bakery and procured fire
extinguisher. With this he ran up
stairs but found the smoke so thick it
was impossible to reach the chimney.
Clayton Boyoe procured another ex-
tinguisher and by this time large
crowd had gathered to watch the pro-
ceedings and help. Mr.. Boyce maa-
aged to crawl on his hands and knees
with the extiguisher and the fire was
soon put out although the smoke
which could not find an exit through
the chimney filled the house so that it
was almost impossible to breathe.
The fire alarm was rung in during the
excitement but no hose was laid.

The Wheel club did up the Millers
Falls team last Saturday by score of
8 to s, the game being played at Mil

flying to the home rooters and they
have been talking about it ever since.
The Millers Falls team is one of the
strongest hereabouts and while the
Wheel club fellows hoped for victory
they were fearful of defeat. As it was,
the Brattleboro boys only pulled out in
the ninth inning by lucky streak of
batting, four safe hits bringing in
three runs.
