 Busl, Fire in South End
 Flames from d pile of burning rubbish spread 10 the dry grass and weeks nearby shortly after 10 o'clock this morning and large tract of land on the south side of Broad street was burned over before the fire apartment and the new Pin naclcroN Forest Fire Co. could ex- tjnguish it. Mrs. James E. Webster was burning rubbish in the back yard of her home at 16S Broad street, and the flames leaped along the dry grass before she realized it and in spite of the presence Of a slight counter-wind spread rapidly through the adjoining field.
 An alarm was sounded inlmedi~ ately and the large truck and bumper responded. while Fire War den Irving Gridley and several of his mon also answered. as the fire was beyond the first district and there for" within their jurisdiction. The mon went at the flames with brooms and sbovels and 2 backfiro was started. Warden Gridley telephoned for his truck, and this brought small hand pump with which the last flames were soon cXtinguished.
 Tho cost of the fire would or have 10 be born by the state. but because the local department was called out it is not certain but what the town will have to pay the expense.
