A representa- tive of the Blair county bank was the biggest purchaser. Last Thursday afternoon the Kepler school house came very near going up in smoke. The fire evidently originated from a defective stove pipe in the school house loft, as the first knowledge any one had of the fire was when the chimney fell and the brick crashed through the ceiling into the room below. There was an immediate stampede of scholars and teacher, and nearby residents rushing to the scene the flames were extinguished by a bucket brigade. At that the house was damaged to that extent that there will be no school until after the holiday vacation. Last Saturday evening while J. W. Miller and family were away from home their house was badly damaged by fire. The flames started at an open hearth and burned into the kitchen. The fire work- ed its way up a plastered partition and through the ceiling when the family re- turned home. Neighbors responded promptly to a call for help and a bucket brigade succeeded in extinguishing the fire. Some of the furniture in the house was burned and considerable damage done the building, but it is covered by insurance in the Centre Hall fire insur- ance company. Last Wednesday afternoon Mrs. A. J. - To Lytle attempted to thaw out some water | pipes in the kitchen of her home on the Branch when there was a violent explo- sion of the stove. Mrs. Lytle was thrown across a table and badly injured. On Tuesday of this week her daughter, Mrs. Rentchler, came here from New York to help look after the home until her moth- er recovers. The stove was literally blown to pieces, not one whole part be- ing left. Three windows in the room were blown out, and the ceiling and walls badly damaged. The hot coals from the stove set fire to the floor in several places, but it was fortunately extinguished be- fore gaining muth headway. New Advertisements.
