Fire of unknown origin, but
probably due to a defective fiue,
the destruction of the
historic old Academy Building on
Friday morning. The high school
pupils were not at any time in
danger, but were dismissed immed-
lately upon discovery of the fire.
Smoke was observed pouring from
cracks between the wall and the
wainscoting in the room occupied
by the Ninth Grade which is near
est the janitors apartment. An
alarm was sent in Immediately.
The Aetna Fire Co. responded and
sought out the source of the fire.
1t was discovered that one Of the
sleepers adjacent to the fue in
the janitor's apartment was
smoldering and about 6 or s inches
of it, were destroyed. Because of
the fact that it was in the walls,
the firemen experienced some diff

damage to the valuable old build,

unharmed and school was resumed
