cann Destroyed by Fire

The CAMP Of Rufus Merriman was
practically destroyed by fire Thurs
day, A. NJ. Smoke was seen pouring
out around the caves about $40, by
the school children. Help from
near by quarry and willing neighbors
was summoned but the inside OF the
structure was badly burned before
assistance arrived. A fireproof out
side covering kept the flames con-
fined.
Mr.. Merriman, an elderly gentle
man, who works at carpentry lost
nearly all of his belongings which
were in the camp. Some Of his tools,
guns and shells were taken out. A
box of shot gun shells alpeady
ablaze were removed. His pet cat
was suffocated.
1t is believed that the fire caught
FROM the stove. Mr. Merriman had
lockeA the door and gone to his
work for the day. The loss is es-
timated at few hundred dollars.
Much sympathy is felt for Uncle
Rufus" who because of his even
disposition and cordial manner Is a
favorite Of both old and young in the
neighborhood.
