Yesterday’s Fire.
Just before tS o’clock y*esterda>;i
morning ul^ fire alarm, one of the!
most dreaded alarms that can be ^
given, ealled out the-citizens of
;our town, as cold as it was,and the
blaze was located in George An-
derson’s little cottage home, corner
Depot and church ‘ streets. The^
fire boys responded with alacrity
and the roof and ceiling'of the
buildingdwhich had .ignited from
a defective brick line and were all
ablaze,burning furiously.were soon
extinguished with comparatively
little loss. Fifty dollars it is es-
timated will 1 repair the damage
done,though the roof was consider-
ably torn up and the ceiling broken
through in many nkiees. Almost
all the household eflfcts. were- re-
in oveni by ready halids and of
course some things v.Vre broken,
while the papering, minings and
y a: pets were satuTat^nrfd injured.
