A rather unusual false alarm was recorded by firemen after they were called to 3 Third Avenue on Saturday, August 31. Apparently a passerâ€"by saw low hanging smoke near the surâ€" face of the street and thought it caused by a fire. He put in an alarm. Firemen found the smoke was hanging low Fidemen found the flames in the side wall of the stable section of the barn. Damage was estimated at something just more than $5. \UT THE RED CROSS TEA YESTERDAY Fashionable women will appreciate the fact that Miss Irene Healey will be at our store all this week with a complete showâ€" ing of Majestic Dresses for the new fall season.
