Quibell, v am A ER RAG 90 VOL. VIIL : Shean DRYDEN, Ontario, September 7th, 1928 -- Destroyed by Fire The residence of Mr James Allen, Van Horne Street, was completely de- stroyed by fire on Monday evening, about ten-thirty. The fire was well under way by the time the alarm was sounded, but already a large crowd had gathered, the illumination having at- tracted the people, When the fire brigade arrived, there was no hope of saving the house and as it stood alone on a large lot there was no danger to adjoining buildings, so there was no loss except the one house, Mr and Mrs Allen lost all their belongings and had barely time to get out of the house with their children so rapidly did the building go once the fire had started. It is believed the fire was caused by a gasoline lamp being upset, Heard at the fire: "Well there had io be some kind of fire-works for Labor Day, and as M.
