Show Rooster "Firebug" A Brunswick (Maine) farmer has a firebug on his farm in the form of a rooster. He reports that while on the way to the barn he smoked a cigarette and placed the lighted end on a well curb before entering the barn. A moment later the rooster roost-er entered the barn with the cigarette, ciga-rette, still burning, in his beak. The farmer shouted and as the rooster turned and ran it dropped the cigarette ciga-rette into chaff, which burst into flames. The blaze was stamped out before it had spread far. |
