FIRE IN PARTITIONS.

PerIey R. Russell's House Badly
Damaged by Fire Thursday Night.
Fire was discovered inside the par
tition back of the kitchen stove af-
ter six o'clock Friday evening in the
house of Perley r. Russell at the
foot of Hastings Fill and owing tC
inability to reach it was beyond
control. An alarm was rung from
box So. There was considerable de-
lay in getting a stream of water
owing to the large amount of hose
necessary to reach the nearest hy-
drant. The hose had to cross the
railroad track and the north bound
passenger train was held up for
nearly an hour.
The fire worked in the ceilings
and practically gutted the ell part
of the house, burned considerable in
the main part of the house, the
greatest damage being done in bed
room up stairs. Nearly all the fur
niture was removed from the house
and a large amount of damage done
by smoke and water.
There was some insurance on the
house and furniture and the loss is
estimated at $1,000 or more.
Mrs. Russell and five children
were taken to the home of H. B.
Stanton, and are now with Mrs.
Russell's sister until the house can
be made habitable.
