 Clam chowder this evening at the Okenuck entertainment.
 A day or two ago the meadows Of MT. Louis Beardsley were set on fire, by a passing locomotive. For a while it looked as if the consolidated fire de- pertinent would have to be called out The wind was furious and everything which could fly, including newspapers and empty water pai1s, took to them selves wings and filled the town with alarm.
 What might have been a serious fire, if it had broken out in the night and nobody had discovered it, was the combination of the old tall and pie turesque tree trunk which has stood Futile residence and the Post Office This majestic old stump is the home of many birds, and other creatures. The night watchman discovered the fire on his rounds, and sounding the alarm the near-by-folks rallied and put out the. flames. Now there is black streak of carbon on the north | western side of the stump. How the l fire originated cannot be surmised 1 This was neither case of defective | chimney or of rats eating matches. And it was too secluded to catch 1 spark from a passing locomotive. It looks as if the fire fend is intent upon | pla ying all sorts of pranks in this 1 town, just to test the new hose.
