OMEMEE ARMORY BURNED Omemee's new armory, the pride of the villagers and which was opened witn great eclat last fall by Col. the Hon. Sam Hughes, Minister of Mili- tia, is today 4 heap of smouldering ruins as a result of a fire early this morning ; A young man employed by" David MaGee, carter, is said to have noticed a great yolume of smoke issuing from the armory shortly. before six. o'clock: He immediately sent in an alarm, and the villagers on turning aut saw that the building was doomed to destruct- ion The volunteer fire brigade start- ed into work like 'Trojans, assisted by the villagers, but their efforts were fruitless and they confined themselves to saving adjoining = property. The exterior of the armory was a fiery cauldron and wnen the flames got in- to full play they licked up everything like matchwood. The stores belong- ing to D. Company Ometmnee, consist- ing 'of-arms, accoutrements, etc., were totally Mestroyed. It was impossible to save anything, Added to the roar- ing of the flames and the intensity of the heat was the explosion of the ammunition stored in the building. The reports resembled the rattle of musketry and the bullets flew in all directions. This naturally had a ten- dency to scatter the spectators. MAY OPERATE CEREAL.
