Frank T. Thaver home, was dis
covered to be on fire bv Lionel Mc-
Knight, who was passing, and im
mediately informed the occupants of
the fact. An alarm was quicklv
turned tn. and response was speedily
made. Luckily a ladder was pend
ing against the house oear the fire,
and while Mr. Thayer connected the
garden hone tn the hydrant Lionel
took the nozzle end and was on the
r>x>f with it when the water was
turned on. Thia held the fire in
check until the arrival of the chem
ical cart, which soon had the fire
out. Some papers had been burned
in the fireplace about an hour be
fore, although the flue burned out,
and Mrs. Thayer watched it and
saw no ill effects, it is thought a
spark fuund a place to lodge and ig
nite.

to exceed $26, all to the roof and
