FIRE RENDERS FOUR
FAMILIES HOMELESS
Dwellings At Bay View And
Appleton Swept By Flames
Early Sunday Morning

Two fires early Sunday morning,
morning, one at Bay View, and the
other near Appleton, both in Cecil
county, rendered four families home
less and destroyed four dwelling
houses, entailing loss of about
Sis, 200, with partial insurance.
The fire at Bay View was discov-
cred about 2:30 O'Clock Sunday
morning, and started apparently
in The attic of the double frame
dwelling occupied by the families of
Robert Trimble and his son George
Trinble. Smoke awakened mem
5els of the family of George Trimble
who occupied the side of dwelling
where the fire originated, and they
gave the alarm.
The North East fire company re-
sponded promptly and summoned
Elkton Fire Company to their aid.
In order to reach a water supply
the two companies were compelled
to lay hose line to the creek at
Gilpin's Falls, probably half mile
distant. This was no small task in
the bitter cold that prevailed.
Meanwhile the flames spread with
great rapidity, soon envelop,ng the
Trimble dwelling and reaching the
nearby M. P. parsonage, occupied by
ID
The Trimble dwellings and the
parsonage were totally destroyed,
the families being able to save only
portion of their household effects
and clothing.
The firemen, pumping water from
the creek, relayed from one engine
to the other, were able 70 prevent
further spread of the fiames, and
save other nearby buildings.
The total loss on the three homes
is estimated at $4,000, with an in
surance of $4,000 on the parsonage
and $500 on contents.
George Trimble carried ali insur-
ance of $1,000 on his household eff
fects and there was an insurance of
$4,000 ON the double dwelling.
The origin of the fire is not
known.
Shortly after the Elkton Fire
Company left in response to tue call
to the Bay View fire, call was re-
ceived from Appleton, nine miles
distant, where fire was discovered in
the home of Norman Burke. A man
passing in an automobile saw the
flames leaping from the roof around
the chimney and aroused Burke and
his wife and two children. The
dwelling was soon enveloped and
Burke and his wife and children
barely had time to escape. But for
the discovery by the motorist whose
identity was not learned, Burke be-
lieves all of them would have been
burned to death.
The house and all it's contents
were burned to the ground. The
loss on the property was Estimated
at $4,000. The origin Of the blaze
is believed to have been due 20 de-
fective fiue, as the fire was Dist seen
in the roof near the chimney There
was partial insurance on tho burn
ed property.

this has remained true to the pres
ent, the department never having
any difficulty in getting citizens
to become members.
Back in those early days the fire
department ball established rep
utation in the social circle the same
as the department did in fire
fighting efficiency. 1t has been the
departments effort to make each
ball bigger and better and the ef-
fort has succeeded.
This year being the firemen's
silver jubilee, they are determined
to make the ball one that will be
long remembered in Imperial VAL

vertising the ball reminds older
residents of the mysterious "ad-
miral of the Peru navy who
wandered through Ell Centro's
streets for days, some 10 years ago,
decked out in a gorgeous uniform
and wearing a sword, but speaking
to no one.
A giant in stature, he had the
whole town, except few who were
in on the secret, guessing as to
his identity. When this was re-
vealed the city howled with laugh
ter at some of its citizens who
had been considerably perturbed
by the lanky stranger.
