that they gnawed the insulation

ini; a short circuit which reft-
suited in fire. The building
ft was insured for $.10.0011,
ft which will take care of the
ft damage caused.
For the fourth time, Mercy hospi
tal caught Hie this morning and by
dint of hard work only, on the part
of the fire department assisted by
volunteer helpers, was It saved from
complete distructlon. The fire
originated in the attic, the same as
t all former occasions but this
time had a much better start than
iK-fore and considerably more dam
age das done.
The fire was first seen by students
looking from windows of the high
irhool and the alarm was turned in
from there. The file department
responded Quickly and a record was
established in a quick run to tho
scene of the conflagration. At the
time of the arrival of the firemen
ii looked as if the building was
roomed. The entire roof was ablaze,
the flames and smoke shooting hli;h
into the air. From all appearances
the fire had spread throughout the
entire attic before being discovered.
It "did not break through the roof
until the interior was a mass of
flames and consequently the blaze
put up a strong opposition to the
(fforts of the firemen. -
As quickly n possible a stream
ot water was playing on the blaze
from the interior of the building,
while firemen perched perilously on
the roof, with the shingles blazing
under them, fought the fire from the
outside. H required considerable
time and a third line of hose to at
laat gain control and this was only
ccompllslnd with a greut deal of
danger to the firemen.
The men on the inside were forced
to work their way through a trap
door in the ceiling of the upper
floor, their way being blocked by
(lames, and then with the heat and
raoke almost overpowering, they
fought oat the worst of the fire.
This position was madef more dan
gerous when the roofs and gables
Jiegan to collapse, but in spite of
the danger the men held their
places until their advantage wa?
lamed.
While il; is was going on, lndtin-
trous civilians were busily engaged

nmss from the building. There

The fame of the I'mpqna river ror

The mud hole near Yonralla Is
now in good condition. It Is snid, the
