Last Xmas night when the Buford
stores were filed with Xmas shoppers
and men sat discussing the Cincinnati
fire, the telephone bell rang the mes
sage into each store that Bill Roush's
house was on fire. Instantly the mer-
chants gave orders to take anything
that would hold water Buckets and
lanterns were hastily seized by the
men who started on the run for the
fire. They were met by George Evans
about quarter Of mile up the pike
and he told them that it was a false
alarm and that the fire was in Mr..
Varley's woods and that it was only
the reflection on the windows at.
Roush's. "Billie" Shepherd, one Of
Buford's strongest young men, who
can out run most anyone, was in the
lead. In the dim light Of the lantern
he saw an object just ahead that try
as he would he could not oyertake.
But anxious to know what it was that
travelled the first mile so fast after he
received Mr.. Evans information, he
whistled and called and Milard the
7-year-old son of G. f. Rosselot, who
said "Bill, their is no fire. There
was no loss except Gusta Tolle lost his
Xmas merschaum pipe in the race"
Young Milard now bears the dignified
name of City Fire Marshal.
