The residence of Mr. and Mrs. 
Frank Knight on Central street was 
threatened by a fire last Saturday 
noon. Very little damage resulted, 
thanks to the prompt and efficient 
work of the men who came to the 
rescue with hand chemicals before 
the blaze gained much headway. It 
seems that the maid had set hot 
ashes on waste material, which read- 
ily caught fire, and that the flames 
worked their way to the wood-work, 
although that was not discovered 
until after the men with the hand 
chemicals had finished their work 
and pronounced the fire out. A little 
over a hundred dollars damage was 
done.

from here. The big game of the

is located in the Postoffice block on 
Beach street, formerly occupied in 
part by John F. Scott, the plumber.

men’s, misses’ and children’s goods, 
there will be no need of going out of
