Fire Narrowly Ayerted.

A disastrous fire was averted at the
Transfer and Livery Co., Saturday
evening, when the night watchman
discovered the rig of rancher in
flames. The orchardist before leaving
his home in the Valley had put a hot
brick in the bottom of the vehicle, A
coal of fire was perhaps wrapped in
the burlap and paper in which the
brick was covered. The rig was fam
ing merrily at the time the watchman
discovered it. Several packages had
been consumed and a bale of hay in
the back of the wagon had caught. If
the fire had gained much headway, it
would have been difficult to control,
the city water having been turned off
