$5,000 Fire At Brookfield Yesterday

Only ruins remained at Brookficld, about ll miles from Charlottetown today of a combined gcncrnl store and dwelling, three barns and the Orange I-Inll after a fire spread through the buildings yesterday. Damage was estimated to be at. least $5,000 with some insurance. The flames were bclicvcd to have originated at a go olille engine in a barn at. the rear of the combined general store and dwelling of Kay- mond Cruwys. Residents quickly gathered but; their efforts proved fruitless as the fire spread from the barn to the Cruwys’ divelllng and store, rapidly consuming both. The Orange Hall across tlic road was ignited by flying sparks and was also burned to tile ground While a barn at the rear of tile hall owned by Alli‘. Allan MacDuif was destroyed. When the flames reached scr- lous proportions a call for assist- ance was sent to the city fire de- partment and with the permission of Mayor P. W. Turner the pumper and crew rushed to the scone. Obtaining water from a. nearby stream the city firemen centred their attention on the Presbyterian Church which was saved. All stool: and some furniture ilvas lost in the fire by Mr. Cruwys. Telephone lines to Brookilcid were down for a time and traffic on the Charlottetown-Suinmerside highway had to detour around the village because heat from burning buildings made the highway im- passable.

The fire broke out about 10

Additional German war- ships were ordered to Span- ish ivzlicrs to aid fighting craft already there. They were ordcrcd to fire against a ny threatening Spanish Government warship or air- plane.
