When Mr. Smith noticed the smoke coming from the roes, no blaze was evident and it seemed that the fire was burning un derneath the shingles. The city fire department responded ouiekly to the call and by the time they reached the scone a small blaze had broken out on the south wing of the house. A line of hose was laid and the water turned on. The blaze was quickly put out and the fire- ; men were careful not to drench the ! house &ny more than they had to. Chemicals were used as much as possible and Mr. Smith stated that he was well satisfied with the work and accomplishments of the firemen. Buckets and tubs were taken up stairs and as much of the wafer as | possible was caught so it did not soak through the ceiling and ruin the walls land furnishings. One bed room and la hall-way was damaged to some exi tent. The part of the roof which caught fire was covered with old shingles. Just recently the back end of the house had been reshingled ' Painters were also at work this week giving the house a new cont of paint and for several minutes it looked as if their efforts would be wiped out with the smoke and water, but by the good work of the firemen the daipag. was confined to the roof and the interior which was damaked by the water. — o NICKLE PLATE CHANGES TIME The Nickle Plate railroad today announced a change in schedule, effective September 14.
