Almost a Fire.

Last Tuesday afternoon, when the wind was blowing almost a gale from the north, tire was discovered in the attic and breaking out of roof of T. W. Haus's restaurant kitchen. The fire alarm attached to the court house bell was sounded, not very loudly it must be admitted, and a dozen or more men ran over to the shanty on the county lot, east of the court house, where the fire engine is temporarily housed, and proceeded to haul the machine to the scene of the of men had been getting in their work with buckets and just as the engine got within a couple off doors of the restaurant, the fire was extinguished, and the engine had no opportunity to demonstrate its capacities. It was got to the scene in a very short time, however, considering that the fire company is not yet organised and everything was done by voluntury and unpracticed effort. The fire burned, a considerable hole in the roof of the building where it occured.
