$4,000 DAMAGE IN
STUBBORN FIRE AT
LARSEN Clio. Store

The clothing store of Otto n. Lar
sen of this city was damaged to the
extent of about $4,000 late Satur-
day night by stubborn cellar fire
that kept the tiremen busy for near
ly two hours. The damage. which
was mostly by smoke and water, is
fully covered by insurance.
The alarm came in at 11.45 P. NJ.
from Box % and the firemen made
a very quick response, the truck
coming out of the station before the
whistle stopped blowing. Two lines
of hose were laid and the firemen
quickly went through the door of
the store. but the smoke was so
thick that for a time it was difficult
to locate the heart Of the blaze. Aft
er water had been poured into the
cellar for some time the smoke
cleared up some and it was found
that the fire had apparently started
around q chimney running up
through the block. 1t is not known
whether the blaze originated around
Mr.. Larsen's heater or in the cellar
adjoining. The fire worked up into
the floor timber, causing a great
deal of smoke, but no blaze was
visible.
Smoke poured into the Gregory
shoe shining parlors. which are next
door to the clothing store. and the
fire followed the floor timbers across
SO that it was necessary to cut a
hole in the shoe shining parlor floor
to reach the blaze on this side. The
all out rung in about 1245, but the
flremcn stayed on the job for an
other hour to make sure that 1t
would not break out again.
The police department did some
very efficient work in keeping the
crowd back. Several hundred citi-
Zens eager to get az close view
swarmed about the building but the
police soon had some ropes strung
along the street. keeping the spec
tators at distance and giving the
firemen 4 better chance to work.
The second floor of the block was
damaged to some extent and fam
lily living up stairs hurried to the
street but no flames went above the
first floor. Smoke poured into the
next block occupied by the Green
Brothers store and did considerable
damage.

DEATH OF E.E kIMBALL
had INTERESTING
and STRANGE CAREER

Elah E. Kimball. the aged hermit
who was found almost starved to death
on the night of February 81 by local
police authorities. died at 5 o'clock
yesterday morning at a local hospital
from physical exhaustion and harden
ing of the arteries. Mr.. Kimball was
so years old. He was born in this
city July IS. 1913. the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas G.. Kimbal. He always
lived in Waterville and for the past 40
years had lived alone in the old house
at the corner of Silver street and
Western avenue where he was born.
He is survived by one brother, Benja-
min Harrison kimbaT of Monmouth,
who has arrived in this city to take
charge OF the funeral arrangements.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday
afternoon at O'Clock from the mortu-
airy chapel, ard burial will be in the
Pine Grove cemetery.
The story of Mr.. Kimbails life is in
many ways one of the strangest in the
history of the city. Although he is n
large property owner he spent very
little money outside of buying the act
ual necessities of life. He inherited
from his father large tracts of real cs-
tate on both sides of the Messalonskee
in districts now rapidly being built up
and he also owned a business block on
Main street. Scarcely n person in the
city was we'll acquainted with the old
man and no one really knows about
his life except that he had always lived
in the old two-story frame house on
Silver street. Very few people have
ever been admitted to his home and
even the postman threw the occasional
mail through broken window light.
Neighbors during the past few years
had watched the house closely to see
that there were signs of life there,
and on February % Seldom f. Whit
comb reported at the police station that
no signs of life had been visible for 10
days. Police officers investigating
found the old man almost dead. lying
on an old bed in back room with a
thin covering over him. no fire In the
little alright stove and no food any
where to be found. He resisted the
officers when they took him to the hos
pital. saying that he did not want to
leave his house, and the first night at
the hospital he refused food and medi-
cine. However, the next day he took
little food and seemed to gain slowly.
but the strain proved too great for the
feeble body and he died.
