FIRE ALARM SOUNDED.

About 9 o’clock this Monday morning the fire whistle at the city light plant blew No. 12, and the attentions of the citizens of the city were centered upon the Rensselaer Garage, where a large truck belonging to Harry Gifford had caught on fire, the lead from the gasoline tank to the engine having been disconnected. The automobile was just outside the garage and the fire was soon extinguished, but little damage resulting.
