The monotony of a Fourth without
a celebration was broken in Morris
vile Monday afternoon by a blaze
on Main street, which was caused by
brush pile being set on fire by some
small boys in the rear of Geo. P.

piled up against the barn and had
charred over quite space on the
side of the building before it was dis
covered. A few pals of water did
the business, but had the blaze been
given few minutes more head way.
A disastrous fire would have been
the result. The conditions for a fire
could not have been more unfavor-
able, as the firemen with part of the
paraphernalia was in Johnson.
