Another Fire Alarm.

There was another alarm of fire about four o’clock Tuesday afternoon. The fire was in the refuse heap back of J. J. Eiglesbach’s barn. The fire was out before the fire company arrived, but they turned the water on a little while for practice and to douse a few boys who invited that fate. The fire scorched the doors and weather boarding on the north side of the barn, considerably, so that they will probably 1 need replacing. It is supposed that the fire started from some one smoking cigarettes, but it coaid not be attributed to Mr. Eigelsbach’s boys, for they were up town when it started.
