Smoke that was discovered issuing
from the second story of the w. H.
Tyler house on Main street, occupied
by M. o. Dawson's family, caused an
| alarm to be sent in about 7:45 o'clock
Tuesday evening. The department re-
sponded quickly, but the volume of
smoke was so dense that it was some
| time before the flames were located in a
bed room and were extinguished. The
! bedding was mostly carried out in a
smouldering condition. The damage to
the residence is largely confined to
smoke and water and the loss adjudged
by Henry Johnson's agency. The Daw-
son family's loss in clothing and bed
ding will amount to possibly 500 but
was not covered by insurance The
cause of the fire is somewhat of mys-
terry as the room was not occupied by
the present tenant except for storage.
