SCHOOL HOUSE-THREATENED BY FIRE The old school house caught fire about ten o'clock Monday morning. It had been arranged that school be started there and the children had assembled. Mr. Dave Richmond who was passing along noticed that the roof of the north room occupied by Mrs. Hood and the smaller children was on fire, and gave the alarm. The children were soon out of the building, and the bucket brigade was at work. Practically all of Bedford was present. The fire was on the outside of the roof, and with the abundance of water on hand the fire was quickly extinguished. The damage was light. The cause was probably burning soot or paper falling on the shingles, fire having been started in the room below.
