One on the MAYOR

The pumper was called upon about
one o'clock to go to a fire on High
street. Mayor Lamb turned in the
alarm and then started out on the
fire truck. Now High street is long
street, it runs past the Gardiner line,
through West Gardiner and almost
to Purgatory. When the boys got up
as far as Pope street and could see
no signs of fire they retraced their
steps. After his Honor's attitude in
relation to the pumper going out of
town the fact that he himself was
caught and started on a wild goose
chase has a slight sense of humor
attached.
The fire was at the home Of Ar
thur Gosline. West Gardiner. Re-
pairs had been made on a gasoline
engine in the cellar and it is said
that they were trying 1t out. The
fire burned through into the floor
above. The damage Is not great.
