Slight Fire.
Tho timely discovery, and prompt response of several citizens prevented u
serious firo in tho west ond of town
Tuesday morning.
At about nine o'clock Mrs. G. A.
Loasby happened to look out of tho
window and discovered smoke coming
out of the sido of -her residence and
shortly afterward heard tho crackling of
burning wood. She culled Mr. Whalen,
her neighbor, who discovered lire in the
hay and manure packed,!around the
cellar window. He extinguished tl.©
blaze, but Mrs. Loasby, fearing that it
might havo communicated to tho inside
suggested that he give tho alarm, which
he did and soon a dozen or moro men
were on tho scene. By tho timo they
arrived thero was considerable smoke
coming through tho floor and axes wore
brought into use, and tho firo located,
burning along the floor sills and wall
studding, but a few buckets of water
soon put it out.
Tho firo evidently started by a spark
from a chimney lodging in tho manure
around the collar window, and bad it
not been discovered in time would undoubtedly have been a serious affair as a
strong wind was blowing directly toward
the other dwelling east.
