EWETT CITY.
Canning Shop and Concepts Owned by Louis Gill Burned-Fireproof Roof Disadvantage-House Catches Fire but Is Saved,

Louis Gill lost his sanning shop, in- cIuding most of the contents, by fire Saturday night. The fire started about seven o'clock, probably from an over heated boiler Mir Gill said if it had not been for the hreproof roof the build ing might have been saved, but that burned faster than the rest of the shop. The house caught several times, and II 1t had not been for the work of F. L. Whiting, near neighbor, that would have burned also. as we'll as the other buildings. A garden hose was used, which article fortunately MT. Gill possessed. The loss is estimated at $500, partly covered by insurance. things, machinery, nunber1eSS bottles and cans, canned goods all ready to be shipped and three tons of coal put in Saturday. The house is heated by steam, the pipes coming underground from the boiler in the canning shop; consequently as the boiler is out of commission and all the wood and coal burned, the house was without heat. The pipes are boxed in and they caught fire and were smouldering all day Sun day.
