CLINTON'S BIG FIRE Twenty-two years ago last Mon- day, May 13th, 1907, the most dis- astrous fire in the history of the town visited Clinton. The fire started in the Thresher Company's plant, the building which occupied the site of what is now the foundry, and owing to a strong wind soon spread to other buildings, twenty •buildings being on fire at ono time or another during the af- ternoot. •In addition to the thresh- er pleet, the Rattenbury House oc- cupying the same site as the present building, and Dr Evans' house oc- cupying the sante sit -as his present residence and the rear part of the old anstoffice, also Dr, Evares burn, were destroyed. Sever- al other buildings, including Wesley church, Elliott's livery barns and residence adjoining, A. J. Grigg's house, now occupied by Mr. J. T. Mc- Knight, the Rattenbury barns, Flynn's blacken -4h shop the two residences between the latter and Dr, Evans' house, were on fire half a dozen times and were only saved by constant watchfulness. Stratford and Blyth fire compan- ies came to the rescue and did won- derful service, preventing very tench greater loss. The fire fighting ap- paratus was run to the station by hand in Blyth in time to come down by the four -twenty, while the Stret- ford firemen carne up on a special train. The telephone office was in the stere of Me. F. Metcalf in Blyth and as aeon as he got the message he went out.and rang the fh:e bell, Somebody asked him what right he had, to do this but his reply was "Never mind, Clinton is burning up and we must go down and see what we eau do. W,e'll talk abOut the right or wrong of it afterward." Dining the afternoon some fears were entertained that St. Paul's chutch might go, the danger being front the burning' shingles, etc,, which wove beieg, carried by the wind. But diking a good part of the •afternoon the church grounds were covered by spectators and the effeets carried out of the •residence across the steed which were threatened. The hats of a couple of women taught' fire as they were watching 'the conflagration, the wearerbe- ing unconscious of the fact until someone snatched the blazing head- gear from their heads. "Mr. Mitchell, editor of The News - Record," said The New Era in re- porting, the fire, "who boarded at the Rettenbury, had plenty of thee to (save all his effects but unselfishly gave his -time and fforts to help Mr. Robinson, with the result that • he lost nearly •everything he had, in - eluding souvenirs and mementoes that no.money could buy or replace." • M. A. Robinson. was the tenant of the Rattenbury House and had just sold the business, with various con - tette, to a, Mr. Lloyd of Waterford: • The latter had come up on the day of the fire to close the deal and the ... two were in Mee Brydone's office get- ting the papers signed when the fire • alarm sounded, so the deal was off. It was an exciting day and ,one which nobody would like to see re- peated. Clinton had not at that _time its present excellent svitereverks systein and its present up-tealate 'fire fighting apparatus. The water • Iron Faien pond was used and every pail of water available was called in- to use. The News -Record .oif the current week said: "A. pail of wat- er here and a dipperful there saved many a home." The general opin- ion was expressed' after the fire that the loss- sustained would go' a long Way toward supplying a waterworks system, which was put in shortly at- terwards: The Rattenbury Hone which was then hurned was built by the • late Isaac Rattenbury in 1872 and was a . frame building. The present brick house was ahnost immediately built upon ,the site. , CELEBRATION POSTPONED The local veterans decided to dro the idea of a celebration on May 24 and to hold it on Civic holiday, ti first Monday in August, being eta' of fine weather then.. Every energ will be bent to make this a day -t be remembered. BOARD ME E HERE ) A meeting of the Ontario Rai way.
