A narrow escape from injury or possible death was experienced by F. W. Fulford and family Brockville, on Friday morning. Mrs. Fulford was awakened by a strong odor of smoke and the crackling of tire in the residence at 120 Abbott street and upon investigating found fire be- tween the floors of the second storey of the dwelling. -The firemen made a quick response to a telephone al- arm and by removing three boards from the door of a bedroom were able with the use of chemicals to extinguish the blaze. Under the floor the firemen found several mice nésts, made of lint, feathers, and other combustible materials, and in the nests were several burnt matches. Nearby under the flooring 'were' found several matches, which had not been burned, and had evi- dently been carried there by rats or mice. The chewing of matches by mice is believed to have been res- ponsible, for the outbreak, which for- tunately was discovered before any loss of life occurred.
