fire DESTROYS
GRAY PROPERTY

Fire Of unknown origin destroyed the
large stables, tin shops and work shops
in the rear OF the residence offs. N.
Gray early last Monday morning. The
fire was one Of the hottest and most
stubborn in the history OF Milford and
but for the southernly wind which WAS
blowing ct the time Of the blaze, several
dwellings in that vicinity would have
been consumed by the flames. Owing
to the direction OF the wind, the flames
and sparks were carried away from all
the buildings. Starting in the lower
part OF the stables, the flames quickly
spread to the adjoining buildings which
were soon burning tercely. J. o..
Brown, the only occupant Of the build
ings, who had a very comfortable room
in the place, found his escape cut of
by means Of the stairs, and was com.
PEELED to jump out Of an upper window.
When the fire company arrived on
the scene, the dwelling Of Mr. Gray
was burning at the nOrthernly end, ont
by hard, stubborn fighting on the part
OF the firemen, it was confined to that
part Of the dwelling The workshops
were equipped with some Of the best
tools in Milford and all Of these were
destroyed. The buildings were insured
for q small amount.
Soon after the Gre had been brought
under control the wind shifted to the
northeast. Had this have happened
half an hour sooner several families in
South Milford weuId probably have
been burned out.
