Three Fires 10 White
Earth.

During the week just passed this
village has been the scene OF no
less than three fires, one of them
being of serious nature while the
other two though not of any great
financial loss to the owners of the
property, will cost them consider
able for repairs.
A fire at the saw mill operated
by Geo. II. Fletcher in the south
ern part of the village caused con-
siderable excitement last Friday
night. but the timely arrival of
assistance from the village soon
had the fire under control and it
was extinguished without any
great damage being done. ..
The residence of Robt Hallett
was the scene of fire last Sunday
morning. Only the timely notice
of the fire by passer by and the
fact that it was Easter Sunday and
that a great number of people
who we're passing the house on
their way to church readily re
sponded saved the house from be-
ing total loss.
Monday evening at about five
o'clock the residence of Paul
Beaupre in the northern part Of
the village was totally destroyed
by a fire which started from some
hot ashes or a match thrown care
lessly near the door, owing to the
high wind which was blowing at
the time and the scarcity of water
it was impossible to check the
flames.
+ Mr.. Beaupre had just arrived
home from the village as the fire
started but as he lives alone and is
advanced in years he was unable
to do anything to extinguish it.
The building and furniture was
a total loss, nothing being saved
but a few bed clothes anc minor
articles.
