Fire Destroys Dwellings. No Water to Fight Blaze
Mrs Sanders smelled smoke and found a roof fire in two buildings. Water was unavailable due to a cistern between them and the blaze exhausted the area. The fire likely started from a defective chimney or spark. No insurance coverage noted. Sanders moved to Webking building afterward. Local notices advertise goods and a sheriff candidate.
