A fire alarm was sent in early
Wednesday morning at about three
o'clock, and but for the heroic eff
forts of large number of the citi-
zens much of the business property
of the town would have been con-
sumed in mighty confagratiOn, as
a terrific gale was blowing at the
time. However, rainfall aided In
mitigating the flames, as well as the
+, steady stream of water poured IN
on the blaze by the hose manipula-
tors. AS it was, the old frame store
room, on the west corner of the pub
Lie square and Lexington avenue,
was soon devoured by the wind-fan-
ned flames, while the adjoining brick
building owned by w. T. West suf-
fered a loss of the roof. The origin
of the fire is unknown. The old two
story frame building, landmark of
the community, was the property of
R. H. Tomlinson and occupied by
William Jones, meat merchant; the
building was not insured, but the
stock carried by Mr.. Jones was en-
tirely covered by insurance. The
W. T. West block was fully insured,
as well as the contents of the "Pu-
ritan," j. S. Haselden's restaurant.
The brick structure sustaining a
/ damaged roof, was the property of
the late Senator Bradley, and was
formerly used for a uOSt Office
