Dexter

The buildings Of Halbert p Bean at
North Dexter were totally destroyed by
fire early Thursday and it was only
with the greatest difficulty that other
buildings nearby were saved from the
flames The fire at the Bean buildings
is supposed to have originated around
defective fue and their spread was so
rapid and the means Of fifhting fire so
meagre that the house and barn vera
quickly in ashes. The local fire depart
ment was summoned and the firemen
did their best with the means at their
disposal. A bucket line was formed
and water was kept on the roof Of the
James Gordon buildings nearby and It
was only with the hardest kind Of
work that these buildings were seSed
from destruction. The fire demonstrat-
ed the great need Of motor chemical ap-
paratus for the local department. Had
they had such chemicals the outfit coul1
have been rushed to North Dexter in
sufhcient time to have probably saved
cred by insurance.
