FIRE ALARM
FIRE ALARM- Last Sunday about 11 o’clock in the forenoon, the alarm of fire at Chamber’s tin shop was given investigation proving that one of the posts of the building, which was pretty well elevated from the ground, was on fire. A few tough boards enclosing under the house were ripped off and what might have proven a devastating conflagration, as a high gale was prevailing at the time, was nipped in the bud by the application of a few pails full of water. It is a mystery how the fire originated unless from a cigar stub or pipe, the corner being one much frequented by street loafers on Sundays, whom property owners in the neighborhood would do well to warn away. The engine was got out promptly but its services were not required.
