Fire
What might have resulted in a serious outbreak of fire occurred in Norfolk Road about 2.30 on Wednesday afternoon at the house of Mrs W. Clark.
Mrs Clark went to the cupboard under the stairs with a lighted match, and it is thought that the glowing head of the match fell into a basket of brown paper.
Within a few minutes several articles of clothing, &c., were alight, and dense smoke filled the cupboard.
Mrs Clark's son and others who were assisting with the school sports in the football field, which adjoins the house, ran to the house and were successful in getting the burning articles outside. The loss is covered by insurance.
