TWIN BROOKS

Grant County News, March 2, 1905.
The village council of Twin Brooks
would do we'll to be taking steps to-
wards supplying the town with some
kind of fire protection other than the
bucket brigade method. If a fire
should start on either side of the street
in the business block it would be an
impossibility to save any of the bust
ness places, and the town would be
completely wiped out. A large cistern
should be built in the street and a
hand pump engine with several lengths
of hose would be ample for a starter,
and year by year a little could be
added until the village would have a
good fire company with decent APP
paratus to work with. An outfit of
this kind would not cost much, and
the amount could be saved at the first
fire. Our business men should talk
this matter up with the village
authorities.
The people of Twin Brooks were
lust beginning to stir on Wednesday
morning when the fire bell caused
them to don their outer garments in a
hurry ia order TO seek the cause of the
alarm. which proved to be l E. Hotch-
kiss residence in the south part of
town. The fire, which was caused by
the explosion of a lamp upstairs was
so far advanced by the time the fire
department boys arrived on the scene
that it was impossible to do more than
to prevent the fire spreading to the
barn and hay stacks close by. A few
of the household goods were saved
from the lower story of the building,
but everything upstairs was lost.
Insurance to the amount of $500 or
the building and 800 on the house
hold goods, covers about half the
loss. The house will be rebuilt as
soon as possible.
