Montague was the scene of a bad`

fire Saturday morning, the large building occupied by the Montague Furnishing Company as n store and warehouse. and also by the manager of the company, D. ii. McKinnon, and his family as n residence, being completely destroyed. The tire br0lie out about nine

o'clock, and started from a large stove in the furniture department. It spread so rapidly among the inflam- mable stock that very few of the con- tents of the building were saved. Al- most all the-furniture owned by the company and almost all of Mr. Mc- Kinnon’s private effects went up in smoke.

When the fire started asnow storm

from the northeast was raging, and the adjoining buildings, including the residences of Dr. Mcintyre and Mr. McKay caught and were damaged. These were only saved after consider- able difficulty. The snow on the roofs fortunately aided the fire fighters oth erwise a. very seriousconflagration might be recorded, and a large part of the beautiful village reduced ti fishes.

At one time the situation looked

so serious that a. wire was sent tc the Chief of the Fire Department her( asking him to send out an engine, as the whole place was threatened with destruction. The McKinnon buildini is on the south side of the bridge, the houses in that vicinity are closi together, and but for the splendid work of the fire brigade, there wouli. be a. more dismal story to tell.

The value of tlic building is esti- mated at about $4,000 and the stock, at about $6,000 or $7,000.

The building and stock are partial

ly covered by insurance, but the ex- act amount is not known. Companies represented by Col. Davison have $1,750 on the building, gud the Mu- tual Fire Insurnnce Company, repro- sented by Mr. Bell also carry an amount.

The telephone exchange for Monta-

gue was in the burned building, and there was no telephone communica- tion with Montague, the news reach ing the city Saturday by telegraph.

D. L. McKinnon was President and

Manager of the Montague Furnish- ing Company, and his son was secre- tary. The company was organized several years ago, but Mr. McKinnon himself has been in the furniture business for over twenty years.

I-Ie is a popular and energetic

business man, and it is to be hoped that the setback caused by the fire is only temporary.

The fire _dghting equipment of the

village consists of a' hand engine and five hundred feet of hose. The e_ngine has power enough to throw a stream of water from the river to the top of the highest building in the business section.
