In some way un known to any person the dead grass on the vacant lots just south of the -German church was- Bet on fire and in a very short time it had spread in a southerly direction and the tenement house owned by J3. N. Warner and oocupied by Mr, and Mrs. H. C. Stod - dard, was surrounded by flames. All the men and women in the neighbor hood were soon on the ground and with wet blankets and brooms the fire was put out, but not, however, until the sides of this house and the wood shed at the rear of E. N, Warner's fine home hud been scorched by the flames and blackened by the smoke. A fire alarm had been turned iu, but unfortunately the fire boys were not direoted correctly as to the nearest route to the conflagration and by the time they arrived the fire was under control and nearly out. This was decidedly a vory narrow escape and had any of the buildings caught fire in real earnest no less than a dozen residences would have been endanger ed, as the wind happened to be blow ing right to have caught them all. All the remaining dead grass has since toon burned otf and there is now little danger from that source. When you're buying cigars why not try "Murphy's Best?"
