NEW HOUSE BURNED

st. Adams, Me, Oct. S.-(SpeciaD.-
A new house owned by o. w. Bigelow
was burned Wednesday night 1t was
noticed to be on fire at about II
o'clock. How it caught is entirely I'M
certain, as 1t had been unoccupied for
three weeks. The fire seemed to first
appear in the attic or on the roof and
so burned rather slowly. Most of the
furniture down stairs was saved. A
small insurance was carried. Other
buildings were in great danger but "a
line 70 hose from a power pump was
Of very great service in keeping the
endangered buildings wet down. Our
townspeople and those from other
towns did all that any one could do.
Mr. Bigelow was in Pttsfeld at the
time of the fire.
