west of the new passenger depot on
the north side of town, was complete

after it had been struck by lightning
in a short but sharp electrical storm

Although the entire fire depart

fire bell, it was soon seen that all
efforts to save the building or Irs
contents would be unavailing. "A
second, or volunteer, fire call was

 Cat With Two Faces

Winsted. Conn, July S.-One of four kittens born at the home of Mrs Minnie Burr in Burrville Saturday is dead, but Mrs. Burr takes the loss philosophically. Tt probably would have grown up to be a two-faced cat" said Mrs. Burr. Her statement is no evidence of pessimistic misanthropic views either for the kitten had a face on each side of it's head, aggregating four eyes, two noses two mouths and two sets of whiskers. Mrs. Burr's son, Grant, took the late kitten to Wood- haven, Queens, New York city, today to exhibit to any of his relatives who might doubt the story.

The villagers who had made ready to abandon their homes were able to rest and although the flames cannot be quenched until heavy rains assist it was believed Masardis would not again have to prepare to avacu- ate.
