WESTPORT SMALL FIRE CAUSES
 MUCH EXCITEMENT l
Special to The Farmer)

westport, March 16-Much excite ment was caused here late Thursday evening when the entire fire depart. ment was called to a small fire on Main street About ten-thirty o'clock a blaze was discovered in the build> ing on Main street occupied by F.. Mangrin, the tailor The fire depart ment was called at once and two lines of hose were laid into the building, but when the water was turned on each hose burst and gave a shower bath to those standing near. The presence of the chemical apparatus was all that saved the town from a big confla grafton. The blaze, which started from an overloaded stove, was first discovered by one of the family who live in the flat above the tailor shop. as he was going up the stairs. He gave the alarm and the Vigilant Hose company, the Pioneer Hook and Ladder Company and the CompO Hose company were soon on the job, as well as the auto-chemical truck. Both hose companies quickly laid a line of hose into the building, and by srtange coincidence both lines burst at the time the water was turned on. The chemical came to the rescue and managed to get the fire under con- trol. without doing much damage. Probably the broken hose saved the building from a heavy water loss. The in the rear of the building. The loss. which will probably be less than $100
 is fully covered by insurance. The building, which is an old frame struc- ture, is owned by Mrs. Emma Brad ley, of Saugatuck. Mrs. Bradley will make repairs as soon as the insur- ance adjusters have done their work.
