Fire On Smoky Row Does Considerable Damage.

The peace and quietude of our beautiful little city was rudely disturbed this excellent spring morning by the shrill shrieks of the fire siren. The company made a fast run and found the frame dwelling on Vdne street, owned by E. L. Hollingsworth, and occupied by George Swigert, to be in flames, caused no doubt by a defective flue. The roof was considerably damaged, as was the kitchen on the rear end of the house. The loss was covered by insurance.
