penter, located on Water street, and
occupied by Russell Goodenough and
family, was nearly destroyed by fire
on Wednesday night about s o'clock.
The fire caught from the electric light
wires by unavoidable circumstances. A
(. very severe wind tangled the main
wire with those going into the house
in such manner as to make live
wire into the house and, before aid
could be summoned, the house was
filled with smoke The wind made the
fighting Of the fire very difficult and

Carpenters house, which is very near,
would CO. The quick response Of the
fire companies saved the nearby dwell
ing houses from being swept by the
blaze. Mr.. and Mrs. Goodenough had
