Quite a scare was given those on
the corner of New Jersey and Station
n at 9 o'clock last Wednesday
night when at the close of the session
of Council an alarm of fire was sound
: ed and flames were seen issuing from
the street and sidewalk in front of the
bank and from around the gasoline
filling pump in front of the barber
, shop building. 1t is supposed some
! one carelessly> threw a lighted match
or cigarette onto the street where
gasoline had been spilled and an issue
of flames was the result. The fire
started under a motor truck standing
in front of the pump, but it was quick
ly moved. A bucket brigade, using
sand, soon put an end to the flames,
which threatened the gasoline tank.
