Firemen's Quick Action
Saves Local Residence
Fite' originating in the chimney did
extensive damage to the interior of
the frame and stucco residence ce Mr.
and Mrs. Hiarry Watkins,, Mary and
Erie Sts., in the west end of Clinton,
about 8.30 am, Monday.
The blaze was confined pretty well
to a storeroom on the second floor at
the south side of the building where
substantial damage was sustained by
structure and contents. Loss was at
least partly covered by insurance.
Mrs. Watkins noticed the blaze and
immediately turned' in a telephone
alarm. Quick responses were made
both by telephone stair and Clinton
Volunteer Fire Department, the latter
arriving in a matter of minutes to
save the residence from complete
destruction,
