Mont gomery the plumber. Chemical No. 1 and Hose Companies 1 and 2 quick ly responded but owing to the inac cessible position of the building could do nothing as the fire was a dtn'ek one and soon laid bare the "i site on which the building stood. Six horses were attached to the chemical the engine taken to the top of the hill and two tanks emptied, but with out avail. Nothing was saved from thp hurnincr structure and all the " 1 family effects were lost. The cause of the lire is, unknown and may have been caused by chil- tidren playing with matches though . . . the fact that the hre made more neai way in the walls than in the interior where it was first discovered makes it possible that rates gnawing matches may have caused the blaze. Mrs. Gray hurriedly took the three small children from the house when she first discovered the fire and no one was injured. NOTICE There will be a meeting of the Gateway Rebekah lodge tonight at I.
