SKOWHEGAN VISITED BY
FIRE
Two Family House Owned by Clyde II.
Smith Badly Damaged

Shortly after | O'Clock Sunday NOR
ming fire was discovered by night
watchman Steward at the two family
house of Clyde II. Smith, formerly the
property of Derne J, Greene on Water
street.
An alarm was rung in by the night
watchman at the corner of High ST.
who went from there to the corner of
Water street to guide the firemen cor
rectly
Upon their arrival the ell where the
fire started was found to be in flames
as was the stable which was connect
ed while the fire had crept into the
main part of the house. A westerly
wind was another thing to work
against, but the department did very
excellent work and in about two
hours from the time the alarm was
first sounded the "all out alarm was
given.
The house was occupied by Derne j.
Greene and Edward Rice and was
damaged to such an extent that both
families had to remove to other quar-
ters
The origin of the fire is supposed
to have been either from defective
electric light wires or from fresh
ashes.
