The fire alarm sounded abont 3:30 this morning and the town got up to Bee what was the matter. When first seen the flames were leaping oat of the 3rd story and looked ugly and threatening. The firemen turned out promptly and one of the Burlington companies came to help. As soon as things were ready, it took but a few min utes to get it under control, but it was prompt and well directed effort that saved the principal business block in town. The fire started in the room on the third floor which is used as a lodge room by the Junior Order, Daugh ters of Liberty and perhaps another order or two. The flre is thought to have origi nated from throwing a cigar or cig arette in a box containing saw dust, nd that it had smouldered from 30 1« 36 honfr No one, save two per sons, is known to have been iu the lodge room the day or night before, and neither of these smoked. The platform upon which the pre siding officer sits was consum d and a hole burned through the floor at that point. Two desks were badly charred, also several chair* were burned or charred. The floor of the room was not badly damaged; not so much so us the ceiling. Ail the windows of the third floor next to Main St. and some of those on side next to Couit Square were broken. "At first sight of the fire it looked like the block was doomed, bat thanks to the firefighters the danger had soon vanished. The first to discover the fire were the two daughters of former Chief of Police W. H. Boswell, who lives almost opposite the Patteraon. Tbey called to their parents and Mrs.Bos well, barefoot, ran to the fire house and turned in the alarm. To her is doe the gratitude of the owners and tenant" of the fire-stricken building and also a hero medal for her bravery. The total damage will hardly ex ceed a thousand dollars. The water damage is about equal to that of the fire. The first floor of the main build iag under the room where the fire wasia occupied by Graham Drag Co. and the Citizens Bank. Water ran down into both of these. In this same building are The Little City Store and Graham Hardware Track For Btre. Let us do your hauling of every kind, moving, etc. Have a new track.
