called oct on Il Tom fGol's errand, Il
faw minutes before S O'Clock, Wednes-
day evening, when some one. evidently
a maniac on seeing the FIRE department
gallop down the street, and hear the

from Box 1S at Center and Pleasant
street. When the department arrived,
less than two minutes after the first
blow had been sounded. no one who
could give any information as to the
location of the fire. could be found.
Mr. Proctor. who was just below the
Methodist church at the time the first
blast was heard, said that he saw a
young man running west on Gilman
street a few seconds later. Several
members of the department looked
about in the vicinity with the hope of
finding the man, but their search
proved fruitless.
