What might have been a dangerous
fire occurred last Monday in the store

carried it into the street. One of his
hands is badly burned as a consequence.

into a bad fire. The company's cele,

it tipped over, and with distended tails
and fur blazing, made a dash for the
hay stored in the rear part of the
store: The young son of Fra J. Davis,
however, bravely s%mothered the FIRE or
pushes backs, with SOME old bags, and
Hhey are today little the worse for their
warm experience.
