A SMALL BLAZE
R. P. Petersen's Blacksmith Shop On
Fire but A Timely Discovery
Saved Its Destruction.

On All! Saints evening an alarm of
fire was given and soon word was
heralded over the town that tn, r.
P. Petersen blacksmith shop was on
fire. Soon a crowd gathered around
the building and an entrance was
made in the sideof the structure when
it was found that considerable floor
space was bnrned out and the flames
had nearly reached the side wall
when it would have been impossible
with the limited means at hand to
save the building which is a nice
frame we'll put up. The fire brigad e
saved the building with their "Fire'
extinguishers of which there was a
dozen or more The building is in
sured with "C)nsinentar' Patty in a
good company but fortunately the
loss is nominal. The fire is suppo sed
to have started from red hot piece
of steel dropping between the joints
of the floor just before quitting work
for the day and was not observed ur-
til seen by a passerby.
