About - o'clock Saturday during
the high wind and snow storm, the
alarm of fire was given by the Stark
Paper Company whistle. The fire
proved to be the house of John Fitz-
gerald above the station. The fire
company hurried TO the scene as
quickly as possible with engine and
hose. Two train men who happened
to be in the station
yard at the time rushed
to the scene and worked faithfully
with pals of water till the arrival of
the fire engine. The fire gained lit
tie Roadway and was confined to a
store room above the kitchen and was
presumably caused by an overhead
Ell chimney. Little damage was done.
