False Alarm OF Fire

Much excitement was created in
town about nine O'Clock Sunday
evening, by shrill blast Of the fire
siren, and the report that the A. & P.
store, in the center Of the business
section, was on fire. The chemical
engine was on the scene in hurry
but an investigation revealed the
fact that the alarm was false one.
1t seems that James Gorrell had
kindled fresh fire in his bucket
a-day stove, used to heat water.
The kitchen section Of the GOrrell
dwelling is in close proximity to the
rear of the. A. & P. store, and the
damp, heavy atmosphere caused the
thick smoke from the freshly kindl-
ed fire to curl close to the ground,
completely enveloping the store,
some passers-by giving the alarm.
Luckily the services of the firemen
were not needed and the excitement
soon Quilted down.
