NOON FIRE.

Just at noon as the fire whistle should have sounded for all to meditate and pray for the boys over there, a fire broke out in the residence of Earl Ellis, on Vine street The fire company responded very promptly to the call of “seventy-three,” but upon their arrival neighbors had succeeded in putting the fire out with buckets. A small hole was burned in the roof of the building.
