The local iiremen we're out two
days straight on calls for grass
and woods fires last week. They
extinguished a grass fire along the
railroad right Of way about one
mile south Of this city. near the
Kent and Sussex Fair grounds.
This fire was quickly extinguished
without damage and Is thought TO
have caught from the sparks Of a
railroad train. They were also call
ed to a woods fire about 2 miles
west OF Pennington and extin-
guished 1t with Indian pumps and
booster line after 1t had burned
over about six acres of timber
land. Forest Warden Robert Gray

Mrs. William w. Sharp and Mrs,

A serious fire in the business
district OF this. city was probably
averted Sunday afternoon by the
timely discovery of fire in a one
story rear room Of the local pool
parlor owned by Richard Bullock
on the west side Of Commerce
street, and who has living apart
ments on the second floor. It Is said
Mrs. Bullock saw smoke issuing
from the building and notified the
firemen. The building. is stuccoed
with a wainscoated interior and is
separated from the r. B. Smith
brick building on the north by a
narrow alley and joins up to tire
William /. Watson twO-story
frame building leased to Vaughn
Warren as a grocery and meat
market and Ira Downes, druggist.
The SECOND floor of the building is
occupied by Cahali and Shaw for
furniture display room. Mr.. Bull
lock when questioned about the fire
said he had cleaned an oil burner
of SCOT earlier in the day and left
| the SCOT in a basket i'm the room
and apparently there was fire in
with the SCOT. Quick work of the
| firemen confined the damage to
the small room, using only booster
line TO extinguish the flames. The
damage will probably be about S25,
covered by insurance.
