| FIRE DESTROYED JOHN WIT-
MER’S HOUSE AT NEWTOWN
Fire, that for a time threatened to
sweep the heart of the village of
Newtown, Thursday night destroyed
one home and badly scarred two
others. The destroyed house was oe-
cupied by John Witmer, and it, along
with most of the contents, was a to-
tal loss. The loss here will be about
$3,600. The loss to two adjoining
houses is not so great.
Flames "were discovered about six
o'clock. It is believed that a de-
fective "flue in the Witmer home
caused the blaze. When attempts to
extinguish the blaze by‘a bucket bri-
gade failed appeals for help were
sent to Landisville and Columbia.
The Landisville fire company,
was the first to reach the scene. The
second story of the Witmer home
was then a mass of flames, and the
firemen turned taeir attention to
saving adjoining houses with good
vesults, A chegniesl engine from the
Keystone conipany, of Columbia, ar-
rived shortly after.
For three hours the firemen bat-
tled with the blaze. Two adjoining
frame houses, one but a few feet
away from the Witmer home, were
blazing at one time, and fear was
felt for them. Both were saved,
This is the first time the newly
equipped Landisville fire company
went into action, and the new outfit
worked fine.
Help was summoned from
here and some of our firemen re-
sponded with the chemical tanks
which were used to good advantage.
