FIRE IN ENGINE ROOM
 AT UNCAs PAPER MILL
Central Station Companies Were Half way There When Alarm Sounded Fire Alarm Box Smashed

About 1o.30 o'clock Friday evening the companies from the central sta- ton were called to the Uncas paper mill by telephone for a fire in the en- zine room and when about halfway there an alarm sounded, calling out the other Companies which respond to box 1S6, a private box at the plant.
 A fire had been discovered in the wheelpit in the engine room, which has got a good start. and was burn ing underside the flooring. Two streams were put on the fire by the mill employees and they held the fire well until the fireme narrived when they took charge and soon had the fire out. It was not necessary to lay any hose by the companies. It is thought the fire may have started from spontaneous combustion.
 The box being a private one the at tachment for the key with a glass front is not placed thereon, although several keys are at the plant. There being a new watchman at work Fri day night the keys could not be found and with a gaspipe the fire alarm box was broken open, both doors of the box being smashed and part of the apparatus broken. The alarm was sent in, however, and the recall was sound ed from there, but it was surprisin g that the breaking of the box did not put the entire circuit out of commis- sion.
