SMOKING OUT FLEAS.’
And SOUIh'NOFWaIk’S Fire Department Were
Called Out.

__ ___.~ ,

 

While passing down WashingtOn
street shortly before 10 O clock Sunday
morning, Officer Reardon discovered
smoke issuing from the transom Over
the door of Tillotson & Mills" store.
He looked through the transom and
found the store full of smoke. Telling
a friend outside to give the alarm he
entered the store and found that the
smoke came fromthe basement of the
Old Well hotel where an attempt was
being made to smoke out fleas by means
,of sulpher.

In the meantime the department had

“responded to an alarm from box 3, but
,did not gointo service.

The timely discovery of the smoke
by Officer .Reardon undoubtedly pre-
vented the stock of Tillotson & Mills
from being ruined by the fumes of the

sulpher, a door in'the hotel basement.

having been left .open which allowed
the smoke to enter the store cellar.
