Saturday Night and Fire

The fire bell changed boisterously
Saturday evening last at an hour when
our principal streets were jammed with
autos, as much as at any time for the
year. This condition impeded to some
extent the customary promptness Of
our fire company members in getting
out with their equipment. For all that
they were commercially prompt.
The fire was located at the Albert
Holmes dwelling a short distance be-
yond the city limits to the south. No
body was home, but neighbors rallied
in sufficient time to save some of the
furniture. The house, not large and
probably seventy-five years old, was
consumed entirely Only the chemical
engine Of our fire department could be
of any service and there was an un
avoidable delay in getting that there.
