an explosion while working around

building near the store of r. H.

ed to cause damage of several thous-

A call was sent TO Harrington and
Denton Fire Companies, both OF

proper, which was about ten teet

embers( also threatened the old
Tilghman Harvey mansion near by
and which is now owned by Mr..
Stafford. A hastily formed bucket
brigade was very effective until the
arrival of the fire companies. The
Harrington Company was the first to
arrive. Their pumper was Grlven to
a stream nearby and with 600 foot
line of hose played water on the
seething mass. The fire was soon un-

other buildings. The Denton firemen
arrived soon after the Harrington
Company and laid out two lines OF
hose for an emergency but it was
stated they were unable 10 get water
from the stream where their engine
was stationed.

was probably saved from serious
burns by firemen's coat. While ne
