A fire, which for a time threaten
ed the entire village, broke out in
Light Street Wednesday afternoon.
The blaze started in George
Grimes' saddler shop, and soon
spread to his dwelling house, con
suming both buildings before any
thing could be done. Word was
received here and the steamer sent
to their assistance, but the fire was
gotten under control before it reach
ed the scene.
There are many stories current
as to what started the fire. One is
that while Mr. Grimes and two
other gentlemen were in the cellar,
one of them struck a match to light
his pipe, the head flying over
against and igniting a barrel of coal
oil, while another rumor says it
first started in some blankets in the
saddlery, but the first is probably
correct.
It was only by dint of hard work
by the men using buckets that the
fire was confined to the two build
ings. It looked for a time as if the
entire place was doomed. Mr.
Grimes' loss is partly covered by
insurance.
