$30,000 FIRE AT
DUNGANNON
Five Properties Destroyed and One
Damaged
short time an estimated $30,000 dam
age was done.
The buildings destroyed were:
Montgomery’s General Store where
the fire started, the loss $8000; Mont
gomery’s house, loss $2000; Robt.
McKenzie’s hardware store, loss
$8000; Lorne McKenzie’s garage,
loss $7000; Rivett's Restaurant and
hotel, loss $3000. There was also
damage done to the Telephone office
as well as to some of the poles and
wiring. 400 telephones were put out
of commission. It was the most ser
ious fire that Dungannon has exper
ienced in fifty years and it was fear
ed for some time that the entire vil
lage would be wiped out as a strong
wind was blowing at the time. The
arrival of help from Kincardine, Au
burn, Lucknow and Blyth probably
saved a much more serious conflagra
tion. The pumper from Kincardine
soon -emptied the cisterns and was
then supplied with water from a large
drainage sewer that was running full
due to the spring freshets. The use
of the Kincardine pump saved, it is
said, the telephone exchange building
and also the buildings on the oppo
site side of the street. Overheated
stovepipes in Montgomery’s store Avas
given as the cause of the fire.
Nathaniel Whyard, telephone man
ager, remained at the switch-board
until 11.45 p.m. when the equipment
got very hot and the cable melted,
causing communications to cease.
Lome McKenzie arrived back about
j5 a.m. from Toronto to find his gar
age a total loss. Five new Chevrolet
cars that were insured were removed
safely from the building.

Montgomery store, who lives at her
mother’s homeon one of the side
streets, dressed Friday morning to go

It is said that Lorne McKenzie will'
