 An alarm was rung in about 11.1O Tuesday night for fire in Smith & Cooley's lower cutting room. The flremen and some of the soldiers here responded to the call, but before they could get the equipment in working order the fire had gained considerable headway. After working on it about an hour the fire was finally ex- tinguished. The damage to the build ing was quite severe and a large quantity of stock spoiled. The machinery however is still intact and the shafting was not injured to any great extent. Later, about o'clock another alarm was turned in as the fire had caught under the slate roof of the store house adjoining the cutting room. This fire was quickly ex. tinguished and the damage was slight. The cause of the fire in the cutting room was overloaded stock confined in the bolter bin. The night force were at work at the time. Smith & Cooley will have all of their machinery running again as soon as they can get room to set it up.
