Mr. Updike was at work when he heard the .crackling of a fire r/verlioad and discovered the upper portion ofthe building, which he had been lifting for living purposes, ablaze.
He and several friends tried to ex¬ tinguish the blaze before sending for the fire department, which arrived in a few minutes. An automobile owned by Edward Floyd-Jones of Massajjcciua and a motor cycle were saved, but the auto owned by Mr. Updike was burned. I The firemen, assisted by volunteers, I worked hard to save the adjoining three buildings and the lumber yard owned by Ansel Raynor. Bucket lines were formed and the men did credit¬ able work in preventing the spread of the flames.
Several times the   roof of one of the i other buildings was found to  be  afire, but each time  the   blaze  was  (juickly extinguished.
olt is stated that the fire started from an oil stove which was lighted in the upper portion of the building. The damage is about $2,500; no  itisurance.
