Eenchester Firemen Called Out Last 
Sanday Night by False Alarm 
Night-Officer Lee Discovered Blaze in Center of Town on Same Night 
The Manchester fire department 
was Called out at about 11 30 last Sun- 
day night by what proved to be a false 
alarm, rung in from box 64, at “‘ Lob- 
Seer Cove, on the further side of 
- Smith’s Point. 
Though called out on a fruitless 
errand, however, the alarm was re- 
sponsible for the fact that they were 
not called out several hours later, 
probably, to fight a dangerous fire in 
the centre of the town. 
Officer Lee, who covers the westerly 
part of the town, had been called to 
the centre by the alarm, and was de- 
EaleaestOe remain there by Chief 
Peabody for the rest of the night, 
Officer Andrews being detailed on 
special work. About 2.30, as he was 
returning from the railroad crossing 
he thought he smelled smoke as he 
walked down Union street. He did 
not have to investigate far, for when 
he neared the Trask house, occupied 
by Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Rand, he could 
see a light in the room. down stairs 
used by Mr. Rand as a den. 
He made little time in arousing the 
household. Ernest Sargent, who 
sleeps in the room on the second 
story, was the first toanswer, and was 
responsible in a large degree for the 
quickness in which the blaze was ex- 
tinguished. A hose was hitched toa 
faucet in the house and-turned on the 
fire. In the meanwhile Mr. Rand had 
hitched a hose to another faucet, and 
Officer Lee had gone to the engine 
house and procured a fire extinguisher 
and had aroused Chas. Chadwick, the 
driver of the fire horses. 
The fire was put out with very little 
damage. It had started from the fire- 
place and had eaten its way in the 
partition mostly. Fifteen minutes 
Jater the whole house would have 
been ablaze. As it was, everything in 
thé room was scorched. The damage 
did not amount to over $175 at the 
most, about $50 of which was to the 
furniture. 
Too much credit cannot be given to 
Officer Lee. His work strongly em- 
phasizes the necessity of having night 
officers on at all times, in winter as 
well as summer. 
But to return to the false alarm! 
Driver Chadwick made double quick 
time in reaching the box on Masco- 
nomo street, his time in getting there, 
.after the alarm first sounded, being a 
little over six minutes. When the ap- 
paratus arrived there was no one 
about. An investigation did not re- 
veal a glimmer of light, even, except 
the rays of the moon in the western 
sky. 
Investigation since then by Chief of 
Police Peabody has also failed to 
throw any light as to who rung in the 
alarm.
