THREATENED HAMLET.

Fire Threatens to Wipe Out the Village of Riverside—Got Help From Attica. Attica, Ind., July 6.—While the thermometer was hugging 100 degrees yesterday afternoon fire broke out in the general store of Carl Dugger at Riverside, six miles east of this city, and for a time threatened to wipe out the entire hamlet. Firemen hurried from Attica and succeeded in confining the flames to one building, which was destroyed. It was owned by the local Red Men’s lodge, the upper story being used by it for a hall.
