Three Blazes Halted By Volunteer Firemen
Gallipolis volunteers led by Harry Frank battled three separate fires Sunday in the Bee fire area between Bee and Third Avenues. Aged back awning at Wilson’s grocery and other storefronts suffered about 250 dollars in damage. Firemen report a cigarette discarded may have started the first blaze at 10 45 a m, with a second fire four minutes later and a third soon after. Probable pranksters, likely youths, set the trash pile fires earlier in the afternoon.
