’ATKINSON CABIN BURNS;
WAS PARTIALLY INSURED
The log cabin home of G. W.
Atkinson, on upper Front street,
was considerably damaged by fire
late yesterday afternoon and would
have been a complete loss but for
the assistance given by scores of
volunteers who carried water from
| nearby wells. The kitchen was a mass
I of flames when the city chemical
| arrived on the scene and in spite of
all that could be done with chemical
; and water, the fire spread through
out the building and wrecked the
j interior. The Commission chemical
t was brought into play after the
| fire had been in progress some time
and the combined equipment, ably
| assisted by the bucket brigade, saved
'the building from complete destruc
| tion. A line of hose was laid from
t the nearest hydrant but would not
! guite reach the fire,
j The building was covered by in
! surance to the amount of $600.
