 Fire started by a spark from a small brush fire built in a garden in the rear of the Dixon home in Grant | avenue, to burn some rubbish, burned | up the side of a hill just off Grant | avenue and through a grove of young | trees, known as Meyers pines, endan- | gening the home of R. H. Valentine | and barn in the rear of the Siswick | home, Tuesday afternoon. With a | slight breeze behind it the fire spread | rapidly through the dry leaves and | pine needles, sending up large clouds | of smoke, which made it hard to fight. | With the aid of rakes and shovels and a stream from a small garden hose the fire was fought till the hose cart and fire engine arrived after which it was soon overcome. At present the damage seems slight, but the fear is that it may cause the young pines to die within few years.
