Fire Company Called to Quench Small Blaze.

The fire company was called about 9 o’clock Wednesday evening to quench a small blaze which started at the home of Oscar Williamson, just east of the Hiram Day residence north of the depot. Some kindling which had been piled behind the cook stove range caught on fire, burning the floor and walls of the room. The fire company responded in short coder and the blaze was soon extinguished with but little damage. ,Five or ten dollars will cover the damage.
