PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
New Building Endangered When
Contractors Office Near By
Goes Up in Flames. Slight
Damage Done.

What came very near being
the most disastrous fire the COM
munity has experienced in years
occurred on yesterday morning
when the wooden office building
of Phipps & Smoot, contractors,
went up in flames. The wooden
office building was located in a
very few feet of the church and
at one time it looked as'if moth
ing could be done to prevent the
roof of the church from burning
up. The only thing that saved it
was the fact that the wind was
blowing the fire away from the
church instead of towards it.
AS it was that part of the roof
nearest the burning building and
two window frames were ignited.
The flames were finally extin-
guished when water was thrown
on them from a hose line con-
nected with the town hydrant
system, some delay being exper-
fenced in getting the water, ow-
in to a valve on the hydrant line
being closed.
The fire started from a stove
in the wooden office building
about Ills Thursday morning.
The Office was completely incin-
Grated and was uninsured. The
church building was insured but
the damage to that was very
slight. The principal loss was
sustained by Messrs. Phipps &
Smoot and consisted of the loss
of some of their records, part of
their office equipment and the
material stored in the office
building.
