TOTALLY DESTROYED BY FIRE.
r. c. Gales Hinsdals Residence
Burned to the Ground Sunday.

Fred C. Gales house and barn, on
the Hinsdale, N. H.. road about TWO
miles south of Brattleboro, were to-
tally destroyed by Gre Sunday morn
ing. The blaze started about IL
o'clock from an oil heater in the bath
room on the lower iloor and In little
over an hour nothing was left but the
foundation and chimneys. The loss
amounts to about $4,000, with insur-
ance of $500 on the buildings and
ST, 500 on the household goods most or
which were saved.
The fire was discovered by Miss
Josephine Shea, Mrs. Gales sister,
who had placed the oil heater In the
bath room for the purpose or warm.
ing it. About five minutes afterward
she smelled smoke and upon invesu-
CATION found the heater wrapped IN
flames. She called to Mr.. Gale. who
was in his room and he at once ran
to the bathroom. grabbing large rug
on the way. When he arrived the
bathroom was filed with smoke ana
flames were streaming from the TOP
of the heater. He tried to smother
them with the rug but was unsuccess-
full, and then threw a pail OF water
into the room. This had the effect OF
spreading the fire which soon ignited
the pine sheathing and rapidly went
beyond control. Mr. Gale then ran
out door and aroused the neighbors
by emptying the chambers of his re-
volver. BY that time the fre was
we'll under way and everyone devoted
his attention to saving the household
goods. For a short time it looked as
if Henry Barrett's barn just across
the road would burn, but by hard
work it was saved. A large portion
of Mr.. Gales household goods were
saved together with the contents OF
the attached barn, but the buildings
were totally destroyed. A second barn
a short distance away was not dam
aged. Mr.. Gale, who generally moves
to Brattleboro for the winter, had
planned to remain at his Hinsdale
home this year. He and his family
are at present living at the BROOKS
house.
