A short time afterward Mr. Watson heard a crackling sound overhead and upon investigation found that the lath sur- rounding the stove pipe hole in the ceiling had caught fire from the heat and was burning fiercely. There was no time lost in ejctinguishing the blaze, which had only burned an area of about two feet square. It was a close call to severe conflagration. appreciated.

MarUaie Play Tuesday The Markdale Redmen are sched- uled to play here on Tuesday evening next, February 28th, when a real game of hockey is assured. The last game between the local team and the Red- men was real fast hockey, and the majority of the spectators say it was one of the best grames ever played on the local ice. This game Tuesday night should be just as fast, and as- suredly just as clean as the last one. It is expected that the Dundalk sen- iors will play a return grante here next week, but the date has not been decided. These two games should be two of the best yet. so don't forget to see these teams clash. Mr. Jos.
