The entertainment given by the
high school pupils Friday evening
was a great success. Each one car
ried out their part in a most efficient
manner, which showed natural talent
and much thorough preparation.
Shortly after noon Sunday fire
broke out in Ed Eastman's residence
in the village here. The fire was
caused by an over-heated pipe and
caught upstairs. By ringing the
church., bell and telephone, help, was
called. Both the Protestant and
Catholic services were in session and
all went at once to the fire. The Der
by chemical outfit was called and
quickly responded, coming by auto
truck. The buildings consisted of
main house, ell and barn, all connect
ed. AS the fire was in the main part,
the ell was at once cut in pieces and
taken away so the fire was confined
to the main part, which was entirely
burned. Nearly everything was re-
moved from the house and nearly all
of it in good condition. The fire was
in one of the most closely builded
parts of the village. On one side was
only a driveway between the East
man and Charles Waterman houses,
and on the other side the barn came
within foot path of Mrs. Rose Will
sons barn. The Wilson buildings,
the hotel and Mrs. Hildreth's store
all caught fire but as they were well
watched no damage was done. Luck
lily there was hardly a bit of wind.
To eye witnesses is seems almost in
credible that the fire was stopped
where it was but this was done only
by the daring and strenuous work of
the men. Mr.. Eastman had lunch
of sandwiches, cookies; cheese and
hot coffee served, and cigars passed
after the fire. The work of prepar-
ing the lunch was kindly attended to
by several of the ladies of the viii
lage. The Eastman household goods
were carried into the Wilson house
and Strengthened around by corps
of men and women, everything done
even to getting the kitchen fire built,
so by night Mr.. and Mrs. Eastman
and son had another home and the
whole village felt that they had much
to be thankful for. 1t is hoped by
