TWO FIRE ALARMS
DURING ONE
AFTERNOON
Double Bill of Fare for Ben
ningtOn Department
DAMAGE WAS SLIGHT
Box Car and Contents In Railroad
Yard Destroyed-Burnine Chin
ney on South Street

The Bennington fire department
was called out Thursday afternoon
for two small fires. One was the
burning of box car near the turn
table of the Rutland railroad at the
foot of County street and the other
was a chimney fire at the house on
South street owned by Lucretla Ray.
The box car, which was standing
on a side track and which was used
as storage for tools and also as a
headquarters for section hands was
completely destroyed. There was no
damage at the Ray house. There was
considerable smoke and some disar-
rangement of the interior by the fire
men in their hurry to put out the
burning chimney before the fire came
through the masonry.
In the box car in the railroad yard
was stored in addition to the tools
and other apparatus several barrels
of heavy machine oil which helped to
make the fire unusually spectacular.
Fortunately there were no buildings
in the immediate vicinity as the
fierce gale that swept over the fiat
carried the flame in an almost hori-
zontal line toward the soldiers home
The home buildings we're too far
away, however. to be in any danger
Three companies responded to the
alarm, the Putnams, Starks, and
Hooks, the latter with the long sleigh
instead of the truck The fire was SC
far from the hydrant that it requlr
ed the hose from both the Starks
and the Putnams' reels to produce a
single stream.
The fire at the railroad yard was
hardly under subsection when the
alarm was rung in for the burning
chimney on South street. It was moi
necessary to open a hydrant for the
second fire. Ladders were secured
from the adjoining house of James
+. Hurley and the fremen were soor
able to turn into the chimney all the
salt that could be secured in tn,
neighborhood. Without asslstanc,
the building would have burned al

heart disease for some time and was
in a rather feeble condition. he
told Col. Harmon that he did not ex
pect to live long and that he wished
to have all that he possessed go to
his brother. He had secured
money order from the postofiice some
time ago for S75 made out to himself
and he had also Endorsed his last
pension check of $45. The money
order and check we're in large en-
velope superscribed with the name
and address of his brother, John X
Smith, Acworth, N. H.
During this conversation Col
Harmon endeavored to have the maj
deposit the money order and checl
in the savings bank and to give hi
brother the power to draw the &C
count but Smith appeared to thinl
that he had made all the necessar,
arrangements and as he had beef
