twenty minutes, and as the department
came running up Foster road and halted
at the scene of the tire, lent« people
rent the air with cheers of appreciation
in their efforts to render assistance. It
wa« several minutes after the department
arrived before the professional fire
fighters succeeded in opening the hy­
drant, and then only after the valves
were forced open with continuous
battering and hammering.
The fact that the burning structure
was small and that no wind prevailed is
all that prevented a serious conflagration,
as several other residences stood in close
proximity.
The fire started from an over-turned
lamp in the hands of Mrs. Helliwell,
and the entire structure was a mass of
flames before the members of the family
had time to save any of their effects,
and their's was almost a total loss.
Tite Captain of the Sunnyside Station
says that both end-gate valves of the
hydrant were broken, and it was also
ascertained that county sprinklers had
been using the hydrant a few days pre­
vious and it is the opinion of all that
was tlie cause of it being out of com­
mission. The matter has been r«-|>orted
to the proper authorities.
COUNTY COURT

A lielegation of Lents citixens waited
on the county court Tueeday and asked

land. Mrs. O. E Lent, Mrs Leo Katzky,
