Blaze at McKay Laundry Threatened; Slight Damage.

, Akrs. Frances Bostwick, who was walking with her aged father. James W. McEwen, discovered smoke issuing from th* rool of the Kurrie frame building occupied by McKay’s laundry at about 9 o’clock this Friday morning. It proved to be a very small matter, but prompt discovery is all that averted a serious fire. The roof had become ignited by a falling spark.. Only a few shingles were burned and the damage was slight.
