Eleven Streams
Used at Big Fire

Chief Harry Marden of the st.
Johnsbury fire department had six
men at work today upon the ruins
of the A. II. Mcleod mill. In spite of
the fact that several streams have
been kept on the fire constantly
since Wednesday night there is a
lively blaze in the big coal bins and
in the large grain hoppers. The chief
hoped to drown out the fire in these
places today.
Chief Marden said today that he
used total of $500 feet of hose at
the fire and had II streams of water
on the blaze at one time. This is a
record for fire department work in
this section. The chief has been huiy
receiving congratulations for his
good work and the work of the men
at the fire.
On Thursday 12 firemen were kept
on duty at the ruins, eight worked all
last night and today six men were
stationed there. Hundreds of people
are viewing the ruins daily.
Throughout the entire fire only
two lengths of hose were destroyed,
These were stepped upon by horses.
This is considered a remarkable. re-
cord considering the amount of hose
that was laid.
Chief Marden in another colur n
of the paper expresses his thanks
for the kindness shown the firemen in
serving them food and for the valu-
able aid given by ex-fremen ana cit
liens. -.t ug

THIS AFTERNOON
Defense Closing Their Side
of the Automobile Case in
County Court

The automobile case still holds the
attention of many spectators ut the
Caledonia county court and the de-
fense have about reached the last
of their witnesses. 1t is quite likely
that the arguments will be started
reach the jury Saturday. Both sides
have filed exceptions throughout the
trial and considerable evidence that
was introduced has been stricken out
by order of the court.
Miss Clark, who lives in Colyville,
testified as to the speed of the Pack
ard car and said her sister remarked
at the time of the accident, Its a
wonder that something didn't happen
to the boys before they were going
so rapidly"
Mrs. Nellie Clark, also of the same
family, testified that the Packard car
was going very, very fast. On cross
examination she said Mrs. Haywood
had visited her house the day after
the accident and asked her to be
ready to testify to this fact if the
case ever came up for trial.
Mrs. Haywood was called to the
stand and she said she was sure her
car was not going over 20 miles an
hour as that was the rate it was al
ways driven when her father and
mother were in the car. She said the

TO AU Who Plan TO
Buy Pianos

You know the name of Chickering.
You know the name of Schumacher
You know the celebrated name of Knabe
A list of the greatest five pianos in America, or
of the greatest eight pianos in the world, would
have these three on it.
And you know the names of Emerson, Haines
Bros, Marshall & Wendell, Lindeman and J. G.
Campbell. All of them famous in musical
America as pianos of honor and dependability.
These eight pianos are sold in the Wanamaker
Store and nowhere else in Philadelphia If you
are going to invest in piano-and the pur-
chase of a piano is an investment-you should
make your purchase with as much care as you
would make any other important investment.
One of the easiest things in the world to be de-
,ceived in is a piano. 1t may sound we'll when
you buy it, but only an instrument of known
reputation for worthiness can be depended
upon.
