Fire.

The large electric drag line belong

Whitewater river, about three miles
west of Allenville. While the origin
of the bltzc is net known it i beliefed
to have been caused by an overheated
stove. The loss will exceed $4,000,
according to reports from Allen
vile.
Among the parts of the machine
destroyed were: the housing, the
switchboard, gridds, all wiring and the
motors. 1t will require at least one
month to repair the damages. The
machine would have completed its
work in sixty days had it not been for
the fire.

valued at s35, 900, but the steel saved
is said to be worth S15,G00.
Several barrels Of oil and grease
are kept on the machine, and when
this became ignited it was impossible
for the watchman to get control Of
the flames. The engineers and ma
s''in2 operators leave the drainage
work early Saturday afternoon, leav-
ing the plant in charge of the night

was alone when the fire started, and
had to go to Allenvillc, distance of
three miles to get assistance.
