EASTPORT FIRE NOT
DUE TO BAD WIRING

early Sunday morning. when the two
story dwelling houses of Thomas
Branzell and Leonard Hall were de-
stroyed, and partly burned a bunga-
low in course of erection for William
Johnson, all of Chesapeake avenue.
probably will remain a mystery. II
was reported at first that the blaze
was due probably to a defective cleo
trio wire in the home of Mr.. Branzell.
Joseph W. Alton. who did the wiring
of that house, states there could not
have been trouble along that line, but
that the blaze must have started from
some other cause.
