e GLENDALE
On Tuesday morning of this week tn,
/ residents of Glendale were alarmed
/ when flames were seen Illuminating ths
, sky. 1t was soon ascertained that the
, seven room sesidence of Fora Gains
who resides between this place anc
: Milton, had burned to the ground. The
! entire contents of the building were
{ destroyed. At the time that the blaze
. was discovered nobody was at home ex.
{ cept Mrs. Gains and she was unable to
prevent the blaze from spreading. The
. fire started from a foul chimney. In
the afternoon neighbors of Mr.. Gains
commenced to haul lumber to the farm
and temporary shanty will be built in
which the family can live until a new
home has been built for them. For
tunately high wind was blowing at the
time and the flames were carried away
from the stables and barns.

end of town, narrowly escaped the same
fate the same evening when the Chin
ney caught fire. Prompt help saved
the structure with slight damage.

an officer in this village has been hailed

him the rowdyism and disgraceful Sat
urday night brawls will be stopped.

stand. 1t is now up to the Magistrates
to place heavy fines on all offenders, as
in this manner the trouble will be quickly |
stopped.
