SMALL FIRE
About 4.30 o’clock on Monday afternoon fire was discovered at the residence of Walter Clendenning, Jane street, near the Fair Grounds. The alarm was quickly given and the firemen were soon on the scene. A bucket brigade was organized and fortunately the blaze was extinguished without the use of the hose. The fire originated in a bedroom upstairs in the dwelling, where a stovepipe pulled apart, setting fire to some clothes hanging nearby. The burning clothes fell on the bed which was completely destroyed and the room was badly damaged. Had the fire gained a little more, headway, the result would have been much more serious as the wind was blowing at a terrific rate toward all frame residences in that vicinity. Mr. Clendenning carried no insurance.
