STILL ANOTHER FIRE
Quickly Extinguished by Ready
Hands With Little Loss

Last Friday afternoon fire Was dis.
covered In the basement Of the house
Of William dollhouse, which, but for
the timely arrival of help, would soon
have gotten beyond control and con-
suned the entire building. As 1t was,
the loss was confined to some bedding
which had been stored there, and was
the property Of w. G. Black.
The fire originated from sparks going
down q brick hne, against which the
bedding had been piled, the Hue hole
being open.
The blazing material WAS quickly
dragged into the yard and further dan
der averted. This is but another In.
stance Of the luck which seems to stick
with the people of Fallon whenever
fire breaks out But IL is also warn.

should not be postponed until the town
