In Middleboro the Grover Bennett house, one of the old- est houses in the county, was destroy ed with two barns. Quantities of val- uable antique furniture were lost with all the other personal effects of the occupants of the estate. Edgar Sturte- vant and Fred OrcutL At one time seven fires were burning at once. four in Middieboro, two in Warehnnl and one in Carver. Fortunately the grellter part of the territory burned over was covered with the scrub growth that has sprung up following forest. fires in previous years. but, wide strips of valuable tim- ber, land were ravaged and extensive cranberry bogs threatened. The wat- er supply was inadequate to check the flames. which were fanned by a high wind from the southwest and west and the tire wardens were forced to plow up the land for wide spaces in the threatened districts. Town Warden Herbert Morriasey, of this place, with tanks of men from this town and Man- omet, went to the scene of the Carver fire with two wagons laden with hand extinguishers. The damage amounted -to several thousand dollars. Toulon,'-Frin’ee, Arsenal Destroyed. TOUION.-- Franco.
