they had gained great Roadway, the
damage resulting being fully covered By
insurance. The origin OF the fire il

across the fields at this point, passing
close TO the house, may have been re-
sponsible for the trouble. There WAS 9
general light up of pipes and some one
may have unintentionally thrown 8

open cellar window.
