EARLY MORNING
 CALLS RECORDED

Bremen were called to extinguish two slight blazes during the early morning hours today. Hot metal ig- nited an oil well reservoir at the 1 Waterville plant of the Chase Metal & Copper company but caused little damage. Engines 6, 9, Truck and the Booster answered the alarm at $40 a. m. and were back in service at 6:11.
 A verbal alarm at 6:09 brought Engines ? and 10, Truck 3 and the Booster to TOY East Main street where negligible damage was caused to a store owned by Morris Green blatt. The fire started from an overloaded electric motor in an ice box.

 One of the bolder boys sent an- other rock banging against the side of the house. Mrs. Singer ap- peared once more. Go on, now" she called. You quit that, or I'll have the law on you" Fulmer stood in the road facing her squarely. "Aw, you shut up,' he said.
 Go on, go on. If you don't be- have yourselves, I'll sick the dog on you!' She closed the door once more.
 "I1l tell you," he said Lets give her ole house one good rockin', then well run."
 A hail of stones fell on and around the house. A few window panes shattered with loud crashes. At that moment Benny, returning from a neighbours, ran down the road and yelled at the top of his voice, Stop that, stop throWin' rocks at our house, you dirty ol'- dirty ol snoozers, you!" The stones WhizZed so close to his head he had to dodge. He ran quickly around the house and re- appeared with an old rusty pitch fork.
