FIRE AT MORRINSVILLE

BENZINE SHED DESTROYED There was a big blaze at Morrinsvillo on Saturday evening when the benzino store of Watts aud Brayshaw, Ltd., adjacent to their big establishment, was burnt down. No doubt the recently-erected brick wall on two sides of the benzine store saved their big establishment and the adjoining post-office from destruction. The fire it is supposed originated from a lad taking a naked light into the store against orders. Successful efforts were made with what little was available to prevent other premises catching alight. There was no insurance on the property destroyed. The owners estimate their loss at £BOO.
