citizens assembled at Hotel Sweet
Home to witness a try out of a
chemical fire engin, which had been
brought to town by the salesman,
during the afternoon.
A large pile of boxes, barrels and
other rubbish had been assembled
and after being thoroughly saturat­

given the machine Wednesday, when
it did the work 'perfectly.
