THREE FIRES; TWO OF THEM WERE SET? Middlebury fire department had three alarms this week, two of which, early Monday morning came from College Hill where there are strong suspicions that a a a fire-bug was at work, but for what reason other than to cause a little excitement is a mystery.

The first alarm was sounded at about two o'clock in the morning for a fire in an unoccupied house situated on Hillside avenue which is near Hillside cottage, and belonging to the College. The building was nearly enveloped in flames before the fire was discovered, and although the firemen and others made a prompt response the structure was burned to the ground, with a loss of about $500. The second fire, as mysterious as the first, broke out at about 4 o'clock in the barn near Hillerest some distance from the other blaze. Hillcrest is the former Patrick Halpin estate, purchased by the college this year for conversion into a girls' dormitory, and it was in the barn that much of material was stored for use in completing the addition which the college building at Hillcrest. The barn, which was about 30 by 40 feet, burned to the ground, including the destruction of a large quantity of plaster, and the new doors and window sashes which were to be used for the Hillcrest annex.

This loss of the new building material is a serious set back to the completion of the annex which it was expected would be ready for occupancy by November 1st, and which when finished will accommodate sixteen girls. Other contents of the burned barn were a harvest from nine acres of grain belonging to Charles E. Harris, and some tools which were property of A. N. Brown, who is the contractor building the annex.

The total loss will amount to about $1000. The college carried a little insurance on both of the burned buildings, but the other losses were uninsured. President Thomas who was one of those who responded to the alarm, could not account for the fires in any other way than incendiarism, and said he had no idea who could have been the fire-bug. He notified Sheriff Noble J. Sanford of the situation, but no clue has as yet developed.

One incident of the blaze was the rescue of President Thomas's chickens which were in the barn. Dan O. Mason and Joseph P. Kasper, rooming dt Hepburn, were among the first on the scene and succeeded in saving nearly 75 young chickens which President Thomas and Mrs. Mason, matron of Hepburn, purchased last spring.

An alarm was also sounded at 2:20 Saturday afternoon for a slight fire in the house owned by B. E. Wales on Seymour street and occupied by Frank Highter and Nelson Signor. The fire was caused by the explosion of a lamp. which set fire to a mattress in one of the rooms of the upper story.

The fire was discovered by children of Mr. Highter who notified their father. The mattress was thrown out of the window by Mr. Highter and a bad blaze averted. The fire department was quickly on the scene with the chemical and hose carts, which were not called into use.

The damage was $50. GLENWOOD Makes Cooking Easy Saves Eighteen Dollars A Year In The Kitchen Any worn out range burns at least five cents more in fuel every day than a new Glenwood.
