FIRE WHISTLE BROKE QUIET OF SABBATH DAY

Chief Montgomery and his fire laddies made a quick trip to the William Rowles home on W. Milroy avenue about eleven o’clock Sunday morning and put to rout the flames which threatened a tool shed and barn. Mr. Rowles’ son, Max, caused the fire while acting in the capacity of sheep herder from the roof of the tool shed. He had struck a match on the tin roof and the head fell into some shavings below, and in a few seconds the flames were beyond his control. The damage was slight.
