No one had been using matches about the place, nor was there any fire in the house or candy store, but on going out of the back door on an errand Mr. Howell found a brisk fire blazing up immediate- y beside the steps, the flames spreading rapidly in the dry ss, and in a few moments more the fire would have been roaring under the dry walls of the house, fed by a gentle sea 1 breeze that would have meant widespread disaster. TheLooney boarding house stands very near the Candy Kitchen and next to it is the Horning grocery, and a fire at this season of the year is to be greatly dreaded. Mr. How ell is unable to account for the presence of the flames at his steps, but is inclined to believe some passerby tossed either a Agar or cigarette stub into the yard, igniting the dry grass. The incident should be a warning to smokers to be careful. Harvesting and Camping Outfits ye are now ready i o serve you wit ji Cotton Blankets Com i ts.
