have been extinguished had Wood
had the key and had unlocked the
door so that the men could have got
ten at the fire. 1t was very fortu-
nate that Mr.. Wood did not run his
truck into the garage last night,
altho it would have been fairly safe
as the garage did not burn. We are
inclined to believe that Mr.. Wood will
not rebuild, as the Madam Wood told
us a few days since that they were
to move from Mccall sometime this
fall. As to who or what caused the
fire will, in all probability, never be
known.
We regret very much that our af-
Fiction made it impossible to get out
to the fire as we are forced to ge'
our information second hand and
and when we ask questions so as to
get closer to the real facts we find
our informats failed to take notice.
