FIRE IN BANK BUILDING
At FAIRFIELD
Telephone Wire Across the Trolley Is
Supposedly the Cause. Loss Small.

The Fairfield fire department was
called out Friday afternoon when a
brisk blaze was discovered at the
front end and top of the bank build
Ing in that town.
Half an hour before the outbreak OF
the fire, a telephone wire spanning
Main street at that point parted in
the strong wind that was blowing and
dropped across the trolley of the Wat
eryille & Fairfield Street railway. A
flash of fire followed, and an attempt
was made to clear the wire from the
trolley wire, which was successful
Mrs. w. w. Bigelow, whose millin-
cry store is on the second floor of the
building saw the fire and called to
several passers-by, but they did not
seem to be able to locate the blaze.
Finally a burst of black smoke and
flame from the southwest corner of
the building was seen and the alarm
was sounded. The department was
quick to respond and at once laid
three lines of hose. The fire was
extinguished after stubborn fight.
The principal loss will be from wat
er damage, it hlying ben necessary
to literally drown out tie blaze. The
building, owned by nc Fairfield Ma
tional Bank was damaged to The eX-
tent of $500 to $500, covered by in
surance The heaviest individual
loser is Mrs. w. W. Bigelow, millin-
cry, whose loss will amount to $780,
on which she has $500 insurance.
Neil Gregory, grocer had 5000 in
surance on his stock, much of which
was not seriously damaged, his loss
being perhaps, 500, George Chap
man, attorney at law will suffer a
nominal loss, and is lucky, as nc had
no insurance The third floor is oc-
cupied by the Advent hall, the small
amount of furniture being but slight
ly damaged.
