NO ALARM

The volunteer firemen of the

near being called out early yesterday
morning to extinguish a blaze that
destroyed the hennery In the rear of

formed a bucket brigade and soon
subdued the flames, but not until the

The cause of the fire Is unknown, but
it Is thought a spark from a passing
locomotive might have started 1t.
About fifty or more chickens in the
building were saved. 1t Is said the
bucket brigade did good work In
.confining the fire to the one build
ing, as there were other small build
ings in danger from the flames.
