JUMPED FROM WINDOW
Woodehoppers in Fire sat Thebeault
House Threw Out Bed.


The huose occupied by Henry The
beault in Lisbon was burned to the
ground early Friday morning. At
half past five, the hired man built a
fire in the stove which was in the ell
and went to the barn. When he re-
turned, he found the roof ablaze. He
aroused the family and with consider
able difficulty they left the house.
There are seven children in the family
and one had to be saved by making an
entrance through a window. Two
woodchoppers were sleeping on the
third floor and escaped by throwing
their bed out the window and jumping
on it. A piano was all that was say
ed. The outbuildingS did not take
fire. There was a partial insurance
on the house. The family are living
at present in some of the outside
buildings until the house can be re-
built. The place is in the north part
and was formerly owned by the Noyes
family.

Auto Bumped Into Watehnan's Shan
ty.
Some unknown automobile party ev-
identity had a narrow escape ut the
Main street railroad crossing Friday
night. The watchman's shanty was
moved off it's foundation several inch
es having probably been struck by an
auto to avoid the down trolley. The
Waterman leaves at eleven, and the
trolley goes down at HOO. The
track is unprotected, of course, which
has been a source of much unfavor-
able comment. The shanty was in its
proper location at eIevn, but at 1880
was found to have been moved.
