The members of the fire department
were called ON suI alarm Monday
afternoon about 4:3O o'clock to Mrs
Oliver Crockcr Stevcns'S house or
Bank street, where a fire had started
in Il storeroom i'm the attic. The cause
of tho fire is unknown, but it is thought
possible that water on the plate glass
skylight might have formed a prism
and set fire to some tissue paper i'm the
room. 1t is considered fortunate ihot
it did not start in the night as the
flames spread rapidly filling some
nearby sleeping rooms with smoke, and
in the night the damage would ua-
doubtedly have been much create.

otherwise the contact with the ear
