HORSE SUFFOCATED
WHEN BARN BURNS
About eight o’clock Tuesday even
ing fire broke out in the barn ol'
Mr. Wm. Fraser on Huron Street
and before it was noticed it had
gained such headway that it was im
possible to save Mr. Fraser’s horse
which was in the barn at the time
The fire was first noticed by Mrs.
Fraser who called to the neighbours
and Mr. A. J. Payne was soon on the
scene. When Mr. Payne opened the
stable door the flames burst forth
making it impqssible for anyone to
enter. An alarm whs sent in and the
fire department were soon on the
scene. The fire had spread to the
hay in the mow and flames were is
suing from the upper floor of the
building. They were soon quenched
but not before considerable of the
roof and siding had been destroyed.
Three little kittens and a cat in the
mow were also destroyed. How the
fire started is a mystery. Persons
passing just a few seconds before
failed to notice any signs of fire.
The building is partly insured.
The fire alarm sounded again
,about two o’clock in the morning
and the firemen hurried to the scene
of the previous fire only to flna
that an error had been made. The
shock of the fire had upset Mrs.
Fraser and Mr. Fraser had gone to
one of the neighbors to ask them to
phone for a doctor and the neighbor
thinking that the fire had again
broken out sent in an alarm.
Easter Services

Holy week was fittingly observed
in Exeter with special union services
being held in the various churches

of various denominations took part.

service, the first of its kind ever
held in Exeter. Rev. Jas. Anthony

very thoughtful and forceful address
that left a profound impression up
on his hearers. The choir provided
special music and a duett was sung
by Mrs. N. J. Dore and Mr. Artnur
Middlemiss. At the conclusion ol
the service Mr. Hunt summed up
the feeling of many when he said

among the most delightful that he
had been privileged to enjoy and he
made special mention of sharing for
the first time with ministers or
other denominations in partaking ot
the Sacrament.
