An alarm of fire on Friday morn
ing called out Westminster citizens
in short order ,as the high wind
which was blowing made fire seri-
Gus menace. George D. Newcomb, in
passing, first saw that the brooder
houses behind H. H. McCulloch's
barn were blazing. F. S. Strawson
also saw the flames from his house,
and the alarm was quickly spread by
telephone. Rev. w. J. Gregory, in
his auto truck, was near the building
where the town hosecart is kept. H.
F. Mills, F. R. Aldrich, F. S. Straw
son and others climbed on the truck
and, hauling the hose cart behind,
soon reached the fire. A few min
utes' work with the municipal hose
soon put out the fire. Although the
brooder houses were destroyed, the
barn, which was scorched and which
caught fire more than once, was
saved. Mr.. McCulloch lost rs fine,
young chickens and three hens in the
fire. The loss of the building is COW
cred by insurance in the grange. It
is thought that the fire started in
some ashes. This is the first time
the municipal hose has been used. It
was a gift to the town from Mayor
Gilbert some time ago. Mr.. and Mrs.
McCulloch wish to express very deep
appreciation to all their friends and
neighbors for their prompt and eff
cient help in this emergency. 1t was
