Blood and leased to Eugene Smith. Mr. Smith had sleeping apartments In the second story, which he was occupying at the time. He awoke to find his room full of smoke and flame. He got Into some clothes and seized his trunk and groped his way down the stairs and ran to the W.

A. Cole Paper company's mill, only a short distance across the bridge, to give the alarm, which was at once sounded with the whistle. This company furnish the power for the pumps to work the hose of the hose company. The firemen were soon on duty, and three streams were playing on the lire, which Is supposed to have caught around the chimney, aa Mr. Smith had been using the single forge at that end of the workroom that afternoon.

The chimney of this forge went up at the end of the large workroom next to an addition which had been built of wood connecting with the main shop, which is a brick structure with slated roof. It was in the second story of this wooden part that Mr. Smith had his housekeeping arrangements. The stairs were also In this part, so on Mr. Smith's return from giving the alarm he was unable to return to his room for his clothing, saving only what happened to be In his trunk.

It was a lowery night, raining at intervals, and there was no wind, so the fire was soon under control and the brick walls and slated roof were a factor In making this possible. Only a few feet away was the wooden building owned by the Stowell Manufacturing company, the end towards tho shop being occupied by Howard Brothers' market and store, and the other part of the building was used for the Btorlng of household goods. At first it looked as though that corner of the business part of town would be wiped out. The good work of the hose company prevented this catastrophe from happening. The blacksmith shop Is badly gutted by fire but Mr.

Blood will repair It. The building was Insured and Mr. Smith carried some lnsuranco on his tools and stock.

After the decision was mado last week to accept the new survey, thereby adding a strip of land about 76 feet wldo on tho farms of E. B. Pike, A.

Boldt and G. E. Shat-tuck, the building of the spur track near the Dolo placo was abandoned and a sidetrack built from a point opposite the Boldt residence, running southwest to the rear of the farm buildings of Mr. Shattuck. This work was pushed so rapidly that the track was used on Monday, when a freight train containing a steam shovel, two hoisting engines and loads of rails and other supplies was backed down upon It for unloading.
