The Sabbath peace was broken on< Sunday aftemoon at 2.45 by an alarm of fire. Brush fires in several direc¬ tions confused the firemen. A tele¬ phone message to Central brought the information that the alarm had been sent from ^he north, near the Camp Ground. The Company started north but were met by the returning assistant foreman, who had gone to the fire in an automobile and ordered to return the machine as the fire was a brush one and the company could be of no ser¬ vice. No damage was done in the fire district. A house belonging to W. H. Cooper, which was in course of erection by himsalf waa consumed with a total loss, there being no insurance. Mr. Cooper's building was not in the Merrick fire limits.
Does anybody know of a bronze fob with a letter "I" being found on Mer¬ rick Road somewhere between Merrick and Bellmore? The fob was lost there on Sunday afternoon last. It is of no great value only precious to Miss Violet -Bennet,"Fairview," Hempstead Boule¬ vard, Merrick.
