Fire at .Asbury Taylor's

A defective fue is believed to
have caused a fire which occurred
at the Asbury Taylor residence
about two miles east of here, Tues
day afternoon. When first discov-
cred, the attic was burning, under
the slate roof. AS quick as the
alarm was given, party of road
workers near by, also men from the
harvest fields in the vicinity, were
on the scene and bucket brigade
was formed which through heroic
fighting put the flames out, but not
until the house was burned the en-
tire length under the roof, and it
was necessary to tear off much slate
in order to get at the fire. The loss
will probably be several hundred
dollars, which is covered by insur-
ance.
The fire alarm was turned in here
and tie report was that At was out
the Barnesville road at judge j. :.
Taylor's, and the fire department
and dozens of automobiles were
soon at that place. 1t was some
little time before it was learned
where the fire really was, and by
the time the scene of the fire was
reached it was more than half
hour. The fire had been extinguish-
ed before help from here arrived. In
fact the fire truck ran cut of gaso-
line and never reached the place.
Both j. S. Taylor and Asbury
Taylor keenly appreciate the efforts
of those who responded One thing
in this connection is very apparent,
and that is that there should be
some means of giving definite loca-
ton of fire, so the department will
not have to run all over creation
before it is located. Had Mr.. Tay-
lor relied on help from here alone
to put out the fire, his home would
have been burned down the way
things turned out. On the other
hand il the fire department. had had
definite information as to where the
blaze was, it would have been on
the spot within a very few minutes.

Rocky GlenS Take Another

After stalking the fast Millfield
team to a three run lead in the first
inning of last Sundays game, the
Rocky Glen team came through
again with one of their habitual big
inning rallies and won their third
straight game. The game was well
played and hard fought in spite of
the fact that the recent heavy rains
made the diamond extremely slow

Notes of the Game
All the local teams errors We're
due to players who had badly in
jnred hands, playing with bandages,
SINNERS inability to get a good
grasp on the ball in the first inning
giving the visitors three runs.
Inside base ball in the fourth in
ming won the game for the locals,
the squeeze play being worked sue
cessfully for three runs in this in
ming.
Deedrick's steal of home and
Lewis steal of third in the fourth
inning, were two of the features Of
the game and shows how the local
boys are taking advantage of every
opening
Lamb, with three hits and two
runs in four times at bat, led both
teams on the offensive.
From the side lines it looked as
though Ridgely was robbed of nice
two base hit when the base umpire
called him out for not touching first.
incidentally it lost the locals
another earned run.
Threatening weather evidently
kept the attendance down again, and
for the third straight game the local
team just about broke even. The
management wishes the fans to
know that, since the diamond has
been moved in, games can be played
within an hour after any rain and
no games will be Cancelled on ac-
count of wet grounds unless it
should rain hard during the playing
period. When necessary and possi-
BILE, games will be delayed long
enough for the diamond to dry off
and make playing possible If, for
any reason a game should have to be
Cancelled, the sign boards in front of
the post Offices will be so marked.
Next Sunday the local team takes
on the fast McLuney team which
means another good game for the
fanS.-XX
