The fire department was called, out twice Tuesday afternoon to put out fires in one of the Mitchell house#,now owned by Mr. George Harper and oc­ cupied George Swisshelm, The fire# were both in the same house ,«nd in. up-stairs rooms where there was little chance for fire. The fire on each oc­ casion was put but with the chemicals and the loss is light. The first alarm was about one o’clock and the second, about four.
