turn Monday night when he _ dis- 
covered a brisk brush fire in progress 
at the Mrs. John Reece estate. He 
was on dity at the Manchester 
Station. wien he saw the _ flames. 
With the assistance of Officer An- 
.drews he put the fire out. Sparks 
from the 7.25 train as it passed the 
house probably -started the dry 
grass and brush, and the flames had 
eaten their way dangerously near 
the house before they had arrived.
