Benton, Destroyed by Fire.

Partially Covered by Insurance.

The home of Miss Maggie Hosford at
Benton Station was destroyed by fire
Saturday evening. The fire started In
some unknown manner in room up
stairs and was first discovered by
Robert Good. who lives in a house
nearby. He saw smoke coming
through the window and quickly
spread the alarm. The Universalist
church bell was rung, but after 1t had
been ringing a few seconds the new
fire whistle was started.
The fire was discovered around $50
o'clock The house was situated on
the road to the right just as one cross
es the bridges. Those who were early
on the scene assisted IN removing the
| household goods to place of safety
| The fire protection in Benton is very
poor, there being only one hydrant,
situated at the top of the hill and too
far from the scene of the fire to string
a line of hose: so nothing could be
done but watch the building burn. The
night was calm and there was no dam
ger of the fire spreading to any of the
surrounding buildings. The house was
a total loss. partially covered by in
surane. Miss Hosford had her house,
hold goods moved to the residence of
Abe Spaulding on Bunker island. This
is the third house to be destroyed by
fire on that street within the past few
years.
