 What might have been a very dis astrous fire was checked by an early discovery Saturday morning. About 3 o'clock a. m. the chimney of J, R. Washburn's house was discovered to be on fire. At 4 o'clock, as the fire had subsided, it seemed safe to leave it to itself. At 6 o'clock fiss was discovered coming from a partition upstairs. and back of the chimney. Neighbors quickly responded to the call of fire. so that. it was soon under control. The house was considerably damaged by water as we'll as by fire. Qpite deal of chopping had to be done in order to get at the fire. The house is insured in the Harwood agency. WALES.s>
