An alarm was sounded at 7.25 A. NJ,
Friday, for a supposed blaze at the
residence OF Harry Hagopian. 1t was
found that the chimney in the main
part of the house was completely
stopped with SCOT. When the morning
fire was built the gas blew out the
smoke. The fire whistle began to
sound at 4.30 p. NJ, Thursday, but did
not blow any box. The fire company
tArned out, but it was found that the
trouble was probably caused by
crossed wire and the whistle was dis
connected until the trouble was To-
Gated. Thinking, 1t was their alarm,
the Arson fire department turned out
and made run to the residence of
Clayton Crosby, where a chimney was
burned out, but were somewhat sur
prised on arrival to find that no alarm
had been sounded.
