FIRE The alarm al p. m. Friday was for
fire at % Waldo avenue in the buildings
owned by Mrs. Rosetta Sheldon, formerly the
home of John F. Smalley. The fire originated
from an oil stove in the barn which Miss Hazel
Sheldon had been using to heat irons. She
thought she had extinguished it, but it caught
IN some way, and was making rapid progress
when discovered, getting into the loft which
was filled with hay. Fire chief Shute was IN
the vicinity when the alarm was sounded and
kept the fire in check with the garden hose
until the fremen arrived. There is very little
pressure in that neighborhood and the nearest
hydrant is on High street, some distance away,
and the chemical engine used. The fire
burned up through the roof of the barn and
about a ton of hay thrown out by the fire
men before much could be done The house was
not damaged. Mrs Ralph C. johnson was on
High street in her auto when the firemen were
getting out No. l hose reel and at once volun-
teered to take it in tow, and with the firemen
in the car quick time was made to the scene of
the fire, and they were the first on the spot
1t was thoughtful act on the part of Mrs
johnson and it is generally appreciated.
