sARcENTvtLLE.

A fierce forest fire has been raging
in Brooksvil1e for several days and
Sargentville has been in serious dan
ger. and only the most strenuous efforts
have kept 1t from reaching here. Hun
dreds of men have come from the sur
rounding towns to render assistance.
Thus far but one house has burned,
the cottage of Prof. w. G. Torsey at
Norumbega, which took fire Thursday
evening. 1t fortunately burned with
out igniting the other cottages. 1t Is
only by the greatest effort that the
Oakland house has been saved, while
the Spencer. Packard and Dunn cot
tages beyond were prevented from
burning by backfiring. There were
times Friday and Saturday when 1t
seemed impossible to prevent the
houses on the Pond road from burning.
The high winds have made fire fighting
extremely difficult. People have gener-
ously contributed large quantities Of
food which has been served to the men
at the Oakland House. At this writing
the fire seems under control, but there
is still great danger of It's spreading.
Thursday morning the house Of
Jacob Cfosson at Sedgwick was discov-
cred on fire. but after a lively fight
was subdied though It was quite seri-
ously damaged. If it had not been for
prompt assistance a large portion OF
the village would undoubtedly have
been wiped out, as the wind was blow
ing a gale at the time.
