ENGINE SPARKS STARTED FIRE.
Dwelling House at 2l Rowland Street
Damaged Late Saturday.

Sparks from train TO Graniteyille
set fire to the roof of the cottage at Il
Rowland street Saturday afternoon
about 4.45 anI from box AZ general
alarm was sounded by Alex. Renhie,
lr., who from a rear window of his
home at the corner OF South Main and
Quarry streets had noticed the flames
playing about on the roof
Both pieces of motor apparatus from
the fire station responded to the alarm
and only the quick response saved .the
home from complete destruction, Fire
was raging on both sides of the gabled
roof and steadily spreading with the
assistance Of a stiff northwest wind.
1t had reached almost the entire length
of the house when first discovered 10
the attention of the firemen was di.
rected Immediately to connecting two
large lines Of hose and then from both
outside and inside the high pressure
streams were played upon the flames
Despite the brisk wind, the firemen
extinguished the fire in less than an
hour, and with the dying of the flames
vanished the danger to a large amount
of stoneshed and dwelling property
nearby.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Botaro and fam
lily moved into the house but a week
ago; and at the time Of the fire Mrs.
Botaro, with her two children, was
downstairs totally unaware that her
home was burning. Alex. Rennie, who
had discovered the fire and rang the
alarm, with the assistance of other
neighbors, removed all the furniture
from the second floor, as well as most
of that downstairs.
Mrs. Willis Howland, wife of the
owner OF the property, who learned of
the fire location very quickly, found
that sparks had also set fire to grass
Immediately near large pile of dry
brush and barn, but before damage in
this direction could be done the small
blaze was stamped out.
AIR. Rowland .carries no fire insur-
ance on any of his property, and de-
clared that the money which would
have been paid to the fire insurance
could now be used in re-
the house, His loss was esti-
mated at between 5000 and $500, much
Of the roof having been destroyed by
FIRE. The large volume of water needed
to extinguish the fire also caused con
damage to the cottage home.
The loss to the Botaro family was
lot estimated and viii not be decided
until an adjuster of the G. Herbert
pape agency arrives. 1t was roughly
estimated at $3.50.

Resigned TO Fate.

In the early days of the war a group
of optimistic young men assembled at
the officers training camp at Fort

purtenance of officers, from spurs to

as it became necessary for the authori-
