Another Lucky FIrs.

The clang OF the fire bell startled the
town about 10 o'clock this morning. The
tire boys scampered to their respective
hose houses and were soon ON the way
with the hose carts aud ladders to Web
ster Patterson's residence III the eI.
treme eastern part Of the town, where
the fire proved to be in a bed upstairs.
How it originated is a mystery that Mr..
Patterson Is unable to u~nravel.
The fire was discovered by his little
daughter who opened tho door OF the
stairway to go upstairs to get some
cloth to mako her doll a new dress. AS
she opened the door she smelled the
smoke and called to her mother who
called her son, Dorsey. Dorsey took
the King and the Drypowder tire eI.
ting uishers and soon put out the blaze.
He then came down town and notified
his father who gave the alarm.
The fire boys were out in quick time
and through the assistance OF Mr.. Reed
who hauled the carts to the tire, were
soon on the ground and had streams OF
water on the fire. They made short
work Of the fire when they got on the
ground.
The whole OF the bedding. blankets
mattress and all were destroyed and the
paper and woodwork ruined. The water
also leaked through tie ceiling and
damaged the parlor beneath. MIR. Pat
terson estimates his loss at about $3.50.
He is inclined to believe that the fire
was caused by matches taken to the
bed by mice.
Had it not been for his fire cxtin-
guishers, his house would have been
destroyed. They are q mighty good
thing to have about the house,
