"I first- ran to the hotel door and kicked it and yelled 'Fire!' as loud as I could: Then I ran to the fire hall . and rang the bell." The flame swept south, threatening three frame houses and a general store across the street. A dozen times they caught fire, but the vol- unteer firemen poured water and chemicals on them until the danger was past, At one time firemen thought they would have to give up the fight to save the frame houses, when heat became 80 intense that it blistered the paint and cracked window panes, But Vie- tor Robinson, Claremont, refused to give in and stood oh the roof of one frame house with the hose. Other firemen brought water in pails to pour over him for 'his shirt was badly scorched.
