missile was--bullet or stone picked up
bv an automobile wheel--it made a
Jagged hole measuring an inch by half
an inch Charles Arnholm, one of the |
proprietors, and Miss Halsall, the
bookkeeper, were in the Office at the |
time and were startled by the break
ing glass as well as by the report |
which preceded the crash. Neither |
stone nor bullet could be found in the |

the wall opposite the window. The po-
lice were notified of the damage, but
no trace of the automobile has been |
found.
The public has several times been
warned about the use of oil stoves so
the incident which occurred Thursday |
afternoon inspires the fire department |
to extend further warning. If you in
sist on using oil stoves keep them /
clean. the burners well trimmed, and /
do not leave the house while they are
in use. Anyone using an oil stove
should keep at hand a box of sand to /
throw upon the flames in case of fire. I
The department feels that the only |
two safe places for oil stoves are in
an open field or on a city dump. At
this time it NAV be well 10 warn ev-
eryone about the starting of rubbish
fires. This is the dry season, the sea
son that requires little friction to
start flames that may cause thousands
Of dollars worth of damage Watch
your step for fire hazards, and prevent
such by cleaning stovepipes and chin
neys. Fire Chief John Heney.
