The dwelling house north of Golding Bros.’ store, owned by Robt. Harrison and occupied by Dr. J. Dawson as an office and C.A. Hapke as a dwelling, was the scene of our first fire this year last Friday morning. It was about 8:30 o’clock and the doctor had just left on a country trip when Mrs. Hapke noticed a cloud of smoke coming into her apartment. She opened the door of the doctor’s office and discovered to her dismay that the building was on fire. She ran from the house and gave the alarm, which was followed by the clang of the fire bell and the startled citizens cam running from all quarters. The bucket brigade reached the scene a little ahead of the fire company, and by effective work kept the fire down until a line of hose was turned on which quenched it entirely. The fire is supposed to have started in the doctor’s waste basket which stood behind the door in his medicine room, where the blaze was first discovered. He had emptied the contents of the basket into the stove with the exception of a few scraps of paper thrown in just previous to his departure and the probability is that a spark from the stove lodged in with the remaining paper and originated blaze. The doctor’s loss is mostly in medicine and is estimated at about $200. His insurance ran out a short time ago and he neglected to have it re-insured. The damage to the building was estimated at about $50, fully covered by insurance in the Phoenix Ins. Co. of Brooklyn and was promptly adjusted by that company.
