Suit Against Town Is Dismissed.
The home OF c. P. Hart on tn.
New Britain road was completed,
destroyed late yesterday afternoon
when the third fire within 4s hour.
broke out and, famed by high
wind. swept through the entire
building. The first fire. a slight one
under the root. occurred Saturda,
night. and a second one was extin-
guished by the local FIRE department
Just before noon yesterday. Fearing
another blaze guards were placed to
watch the house: at s o'clock Mr..
Hart made tour Of inspection and
found no sign OF fire, but an hour
later the whole roof was ablaze and
the firemen were summoned a third
time.
The house. which was an old land
mark just east OF Cooke street and
which was known as the W. l.. Cooke
homestead. was burning too furi-
ously for the local f1remen to cope
with when they fastened to the spot
on their way back from a brush fire.
The lack OF hydrant rendered
them helpless, and call was sent to
New Britain for pumper. Chief
William J. Noble of the Hardware
City department despatched No. 4
pumper. but 1t had hardly connect
ed Its hose lines with the brook and
begun TO play on the house when il
broke down. No. pumper was sent
on to substitute, but here again
there was trouble when the hose
burst.
The building was burned to the
ground. nothing remaining except
the stone foundations. The furniture
on the first floor was carried out by
the local firemen, but everything
else was lost A large barn and
several other outbuildings were en-
dangered by the flames. which were
blown by high wind. but these
were saved by the energetic efforts
OF the combined FIRE departments.
The sparks were carried n long dis
lance by the wind. and the fire was
spectacular in every respect
Mr.. Hart estimated the damage at
between 10000 and $4,000. Only
$500 OF this amount is covered by
Insurance.
Had there been a hydrant near
the house the Plainvillo tircmen
could have dealt with the fire them
selves. but the only water in the Vi
clnity was in the swampy brook at
the foot OF the hill About two
months ago the selectmen asked the
Plainville Water Co. to locate a ny
drant at the foot of Cook street but
met with a refusal. The city of
New Britain, which has a pipe line
through the neighborhood,
offered to place a hydrant there II
the local company would waive its
rights, but this was not done. Had
the hydrant been placed. First Sc
lectman John J. Kimmel said to-
day. the fire could have been con-
trolled.

Six or Eight Will Pull Very
 Heavy Loads

Navasota. Tex, Dec. 9 P-Oxen take the place of steam switching engines on the railroad sidetracks al an industrial plant here.
 Six or eight animals pull loads of 50 to 100 tons, apparently with little effort. and they have been found to supply the best and least expensive motive power available under existing conditions.
 When II. Schumaker established here in 1873 the first cottonseed oil mill in the southwest, there were no railroads in the vicinity. Oxen hauled the seed to the mill and the oil to market.
 When the railroad came and brought switch tracks. it was found that long delays and heavy ex- penses resulted from waiting for the locomotive 10 do the switching after it pulled it's string of box cars into town once or twice day.

 When Dreda was IS years old she left her home in Galveston to study for the career Of an opera singer, in direct defiance 10 the wishes of her father. an Episcopalian minister. Her sister. Miss Marian Ayes, was then doing settlement work in New York, and it was 10 her that Dreda went. Through her and and con slant encouragement the young singer was enabled 10 begin her studies.
 During the World War the two sisters went to France, where Dreda sang in hospitals for the entertain. ment Of disabled and wounded sol diers. On her return she continued studying and travelling,
