AFFAIRS OF HARRINGTON

flames and sparks back over the
marsh and other homes along the
street were not endangered, out
buildings in the rear of the burning
building were showered with sparks
but did not catch ON fire. After ex-
periencing one of the coolest rides
the firemen will probably get during
the winter season, with the mercury
close to ~ above zero in this Sec
tion, they could do nothing to save
the home when they arrived except
be on hand to protect other build
ings. They did use their boosters to
wet down the ruins before leaving
the fire. The loss ON the building
end contents will probably reach
$4,000 and some one reported that
there was no insurance but this
statement was not verified. Many of
the firemen sought private automo-
biles to return home as a protection
from the icy winds. Only a skeleton
crew manned each equipment on the
return trip.
