BELIEVE BONES
NOT OF HUMANS
But Authorities Sent Samples to State
Laboratory Which Were Taken from
Ruins of East Montpelier Fire.


Whether bones found in the ruins OF
the Lavigne farm barn in East Mont
pelier after fire week ago are parts
OF human frame or of animals has
not been determined, but belief OF the
officials concerned tends to the convic-
tion that it was an animal instead OF a
man who perished in the flames. The
bones have been sent to the state lah-
oratory at Burlington in an endeavor
to determine if they were of human
being. In the meantime the list Of per-
sons said to be missing has been
checked up, and all are said to have
been accounted for.
AT one time, following the fire, as
many as three men were reported miss
ing and the. rumor got around that
they perished in the fire at the farm
occupied by Wellington Ibey. One by
one they have been eliminated until the
last missing man, Louis Christensen.
has been reported as having been seen
since the fire.
States Attorney +. B. Thomas, Dep
uty Fire Marshal A. G. Preble and 9TH
ers, attracted by the rumors, went to
the scene of the fire late last week, and
there in the ruins Of the horse barn
they saw the bones, which were
thought by many to be those of hui
man beings. The bones were gathered
and samples sent, as already stated, to
the state laboratory. The fire destroyed
the house, as well as the barns.

Started Threatening Fire
in South End Store
Building
JOSEPH SHADROUTS
STORFs AMAGED
Rear of y.S Apartments
on sees Story Also
Blu q Somewhat

Barre's nre department saved the
south end from a disastrous fire early
Sunday morning when the rear OF the
building at lis South Main street, the
ground floor Of which is occupied by
the general store OF Joseph Shadroui...
burst into flames. The quick run and
work Of the firemen confined the flames
to the rear piazza and stairways nj
though the stock in the store suffered
heavily from smoke and water and the
office was burned slightly. Most Of Mr..
Shadroui's records were destroyed. No
estimate of the loss could be made but
1t was believed n would run into sew
eral thousands of dollars.
The building is two,-story affair,
and is owned by Basilio Dente Of 561
North Main street The second floor is
divided into two apartments, the occu-
pants of which moyed out Saturday
noon. As the rear piazza on this floor
was entirely burned away fire officials
believed that the stoves were emptied
preparatory to moving and the hot
ashes piled on the piazza. The damage
inside the two apartments swas slight,
the heat blistering the paint and wood
work and curling and soaring the wall
paper.
The family Of Rocco Marchesi, who
lives at 100 South Main street, which
is the next holiee to the Shadroui store,
were awakened by the barking OF their
dog which was kept tied in the back
yard. As the dog was never known to
bark at night except in case Of trouble
the family arose and looked out. The
whole back OF the building at Is was
in flames Mrs. Marchesi ran to The
front Of the house and called to a pass
erby to ring the alarm. He had seen
the fire, however. and was searching for
the box. which he soon found. The
alarm was received at fire headquarters
at 80 o'clock and the men soon had
water on the fire. 4 large tank OF kero-
sene oil under the first floor piazza
kept the crowd, which soon gathered,
at a distance for while, but the fire.
men prevented the flames from reach
ing il.
Everyone who saw the FIRE was loud
in praise of the work OF the fire de.
partmeDt and the speed with which fths
alarm was answered. The loss il prac'
tically all covered by insurance, it ~
believed.
