!. ISI.QUICkLY CONQUERED

Fire was discovered this morning
about five o'clock in the Woodshed
just back of the house owned by Mrs.
u. D. Agnew, on Van Buren street,
just off First street. The house is
occupied by Talbot Jennings, a uni
yersity student The blaze had as
sumed considerable proportions be-
fore it was discovered, but quick work
on the part of the Moscow Volunteer
Fire department resulted in putting
the fire out before any damage was
done to adjoining buildings, and be-
fore the woodshed and its contents
were entirely destroyed. The wood
shed is built onto the residence, and
with several other houses nearby, the
fire might have been serious one.
In the absence of Fire Chief Carl
Smith, the fire boys operated under
the direction of First Assistant Fire
Chief Perry Carter.
1t is believed that the fire started
from ashes which had been thrown
in wooden box which sat against the

The result OF the bond election in

was highly satisfactory to the good

this community is still in possession

so much for it in the past One Of
the outstanding features of the cleo
