Show MARKHAM LADIES GETJUSY Thursday morning about 11 o'clock some of the ladies of Markham noticed no-ticed smoke issuing from a coal shed on the side of a house in the rear of the Harry McNeeley apartment, and realizing what a fire meant in that district Mrs. Hartman, Mrs. Parker and the Misses Mamie Robbins and Ethel Watkins immediately got ou. the fire hose kept in that district by the city, connected up with the water mains and had the fire subdued before the arrival of the volunteer fire fighters, fight-ers, altho they were timely. It is said children playing with matches was the cause of the- outbreak. We congratulate these ladies on their fire fighting abilities. |
