morning. Mr. A. L. McMurray
the postmaster, Was awakened
by the smell of smoke and im
mediately spread the alarm. Mr.
Davis Elliotte was one of the first
to respond to the call for help,
fetching a bucket of water from
his house close by and handing it
to Mr. McMurray, who, finding
his efforts to fight the firt from
the rear of no' avail, opened the
front door, and groping his way
into the smoke-filled store, fell
through the burning floor, emp
tying the contents of the bucket
into the centre of the conflagra
tion and quenching it. "
. A lighted cigarette end thrown
in box of sawdust is thought to
have been the origin of the fire.
Mr. McMurray sustains a few
slight bruises by His fall.
