Sparks from a passing boat carry
ing lumber from the Baker akefield
cypress mill at Plattenvil1e shortly
before noon Wednesday caused a Sc
rious fire, two residences being de-
stroyed and six others damaged. The

was destroyed. The flames spread to
the home of Numa Aucoin, nearby,
and it was also consumed with con-
tents. The buildings were valued at
about $1,000 each. Hard work by
the volunteer fremen stopped the
progress of the blaze after two other
houses had been heavily damaged and
four Slightly damaged.
During the height of the confiagra-
ton the fire department of Donald
sonville was appealed to for aid and
the big motor truck of the Vigilant
Hose Company was despatched to the
scene. The twelve-mile run to Plat
tenville was made in about twenty
minutes and the local fre-fghters
were able to render valuable assist
ance in suppressing the blaze, the
chemical tank with which the Vigil
liant truck is equipped proving of par
ticular service in preventing spread
Of the flames. Appreciation of the
aid given by the local firemen was ex-
pressed by citizens Of Plattenville.
