while passing by some woods near
the old Jones place, Monday night
about So'clock. and severely wounded

Costly Fire in Brcokfield.
The village of Brookfeld. was in
danger of being destroyed Tuesday,
September 81, by a lively confagra-
ton, which ragged for over three hours
before it was brought under control.
t The damage done is estimated to be in
t the vicinity of $4,000. That it is not
r greater is owing to a shift in the wind
and the help of fire companies from
: nearby towns. The fire started in the
, barn of tie Congregational parsonage
5 and was discovered about one o'clock
: The brisk wind which was blowing
e caused it to quickly communicate to
: the parsonage. Hardly any of tn e
y contents of the parsonage could be
S saved. Several other nearby build
a ings were ignited and partially
: burned. AS Brookfield has no regu-
. lar hose company, the volunteers who
b assembled could do little to stop the
progress of the blaze and it looked as
= if the entire village would go. The
= word soon spread to the neighboring
e villages however, and they responded
Z. generously. Their efforts combined
/, with those of the Brookfield people
e checked the blaze so that it was
e brought under control by q o'clock, g
l.. shift in the wind greatly aiding them.
e The damage done is the destruction
o of the Congregational parsonage anc
t barn and the partially destruction Of
s Peck, Clark & Company's factory
: James McDermott's residence, anC
: the Haggerty residence. 1t is though
d that the fire originated with some
i small boys. who were seen in the barr
n shortly before the fire was discovered
