Firemen Respond in the Wee Hours
Grantsville was stirred from sleep by
the fire alarm Sunday morning before
daylight when fire of undetermined
origin caught in the building in back
of Milton Kinsinger's, used as a chick
en- coop, shop and general barn. Some
thermometers registered ten below
zero, but the fremen turned out we'll,
and kept the fire within the building.
Most of the chickens were removed
from the building and a little kitten
was also saved. Several parties made
coffee for the men fighting the fire.

their treat, Lutheran, Sunday morn
