ing This Morning-Report Came
From Pay Station.

Is The Fargo fire department went on
a wild-goose chase this morning at
about 1928 o'clock, when a call was
sent in stating that the south bridge
across the Red river was afire.
When the department arrived at the
bridge there was nothing doing and
subsequent investigation revealed the
fact that some woman had turned in
The alarm from the pay station at the
Northern Pacific passenger station.
The belief of the firemen is that
some woman coming in nan N. p.
train saw some smoke around the
bridge and thinking the structure was
af1re thought she would play safety
first" and turn in an alarm.
Sunday night the department was
called to the residence Of j. M. Lacy
at 40 Third street north where a fire
had started in back bedroom. The
call was sent in about o'clock. Little
damage was done.
