of the local fircmen after answering
three alarms in less than twelve
hours. First they were called tG
FELTON, last Thursday morning aboui
g. o'clock for chimney fire., How
ever, ON this alarm they were re-
called before leaving the fire house
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon
the firemen responded to the farm Of
Winslow Knapp along the State
Highway about three miles north OF
Harrington, where a stack of marsh
hay was on fire. 1t seems Mr.. Knapp
was burning off the edge of woods
trying to eliminate some of the pos
sibilities of woods fire during the
hunting season which opened on
Monday. 1t spread to the pile of hay
and destroyed most of it., valued at
$500. Mr.. Knapp had purchased
the hay to use on his potato beds in
the spring. The third call, the most
serious of all, destroyed the home of
Jemn Allaband of Smyrna. The
farm is located about ten miles
northwest of this city near the ru-
raj community of Sandtown and is
tendanted by John A. Shulties. The
firemen knew the house was beyond
attention before they left. the fire
house, but they responded to be on
hand to protect the outbuildings
several feet away. Mr.. Shulties whom
questioned about the fire, said only
a small fire was kept up during the
early part of the evening and ap-
parently the fire started in a closet
in his bed room. The family barely
had time to escape from the burn
ing building and saved only a few
pieces of furniture from the first
floor. The loss will probably reach
$4,000 partly covered by insurance.
Mr.. Shulties carried no insurance
on his furniture. Mrs. Shulties, suf-
fering from shock was cared for at
the home of neighbor nearby.
