A FIRE alarm was sounded early Thurs
day morning, and it was found that
fire had started in Ernest Chase's house
from the kitchen chimney. The hose
company was on hand in a very short
space of time and the flames which had

promptly extinguished. The damage to
house and furniture will be slight, and
mostly caused by water. But for prompt
action, disastrous fire would have
occurred.
