Fire Located in Barn in the
Rear Of Hotel
Property

Williamstown, Dec. 5.--This village
was again startled BY the alarm of fire
about II o'clock On Sunday morning.
People in the hotel noticed smoke pour
ing from window in the barn just
east Of the hotel and belonging to
George t. Colby. Thomas Jameson of
the livery stable near by was first on
the scene and found good blaze
in a wooden partition that separates
the part used for autos and wagons
from that occupied by stalls.
An alarm was rung from the church
bells and the fire department called
out and line Of hose laid from the
fire station. Meantime volunteers had
attacked the fire with snow, re-en-
forced BY pals Of water from the hotel
and fire extinguishers, SO that it was
not necessary to start the fire engine.
When the smoke had cleared away
it was found that the cross sill di-
rectly under the partition spoken Of
was burned half way through from the
upper side, the ends Of two pairs Of
supporting the floor burned
of, and the fire was making it's way
up tke partition, about three feet of i
post being burned off at the end next
the floor. 1t seems likely that the fire
had Jaen smouldering for some time,
to have done all this and could not
have been blazing long.
1t was narrow escape from a seri-
ous fire, for had it not been discovered
Is it was, the barn must have burned:
