past "a hours
Late yesterday afternoon Charles

big fire in the vicinity of the Red
Mills property and that the men who
had assembled from the farms in
Woodford were unable to handle the
situation.
Mr.. Adams engaged a couple of
automobiles and a force of men and
was already to start for the mountains
when he received a telephone mes
sage that the fire was under control.
All last night a large patch Of fire
could be seen on Bald Mountain but
as 1t did not appear to spread it is
probably confined to a large heap Of
sJumps that mas been burning since
the fire fighters were withdrawn from
that locality on Monday.
Word was received from Woodford

"A corporation is creature OF law.
