Early Morning Fire

Last Thursday morning a fire, sup
posed to have been caused by an over
heated stove pipe, destroyed the tene
ment house on Park street, owned by
Mrs. Ellen E. Gallup, and occupied by
Mrs. Gallup, Chas, Wiltshire Mrs. VIM
Brill and Harry Brown. The fire started
in the west part of the house, occupied
by the Wiltshire family, and the strong
northerly gale, which was blowing at
that time. sent the flames quickly through
the entire building
The fire alarm was rung at 4:45 o'clock
and the Morrisville Fire Department
quickly responded, but were greatly ham
pered in their work as they were unable
to use the nearest hyrant. In spite OF
the bitter cold, the thermometer register
ing 80 degrees below zero, the fremen
with their many helpers, fought valiantly
to save the building, many of the men
suffering much from exposure.
The house was valued at about $4,000
with an insurance of $3.50. None OF
the household goods were insured, but
many of them were saved. Neigbors
very kindly cared for the families rem.
dered homeless.
