Firemen Respond to Monkey Run

Firemen Respond to Monkey Run
n The local fire company responded
+ TO an alarm of fire Sunday evening
' which proved to be a monkey run for
! them. The alarm was sounded about
l p. m. for a call to the home of
+ Superintendent of Schools M. r. Ad-
am. Upon investigation they were in
, formed by Mrs. Adam that there was
no fire in her home. The call was
sent in by neighbor who saw the
reflection of a flare of an oil stove,
thinking there was no one home he
thought the home was on fire. The
chemical apparatus was the first
piece of apparatus to arrive and
would have been followed closely by
the pumper. But this piece of appa-
ratus after leaving the fire house
stopped dead. Investigation proved
that some one had completely drain
ed the gasoline tank of gas. The per-
son responsible for such action will
certainly be dealt with severely
should he be caught.
