Our little town was kept in excite
ment all day Saturday. About $50 a.
M, an alarm was sounded for fire in
i one of Hoffmans houses, on the Loder
farm. Both companies responded,
and within thirty minutes the fire was
under control. Loss 800.
Shortly after the companies had re-
turned to their houses fire broke out
in the cellar of the home of Robert
Gibbs on North Delaware street.
! These two fires were caused by per-
sons thawing out water pipes.
/ At / p. m. an alarm was sounded,
and upon investigation was found to
be at the tenant house in Lincoln
Park, occupied by George Morgan. At
/ the time of the fire two of Mr. Nor
/ gan's sisters were home and while
one worked with the fire which was
gaining rapid headway about the
chimney, the other rang the alarm.
Both companies again responded and
worked with extinguishers until the
hose could be coupled together and
water gotten. The loss will be close
to 500 which is covered by insur-
ance as well as the other damaged
properties.
