Forest fires broke out in Plain- ville yesterday afternoon for the sec- | ond time in two days.

The most serious fire yesterday was on the land north of the Metho- | dist camp ground where about 100 acres fell before the ravages of the | flames. 1t lasted more than five hours. It is believed that it started from stumps being burned on land of a man residing nearby. Fire Wardens Trving Howard Usher and Edward Madeley were notified of the blaze about 1 o'clock and went to the scene with a corps of assistants. Shortly before 4 o'clock it appeared as though the property of the Methodist camp grounds would be destroyed and a call was sent in for the Plainville fire department by Warden Madeley. Help was also received from State Patroiman Hurlburt of the Hart- ford county with a force of forest firemen and State Patrolman Payne of 8imabury with anotker force. The combined efforts of these forces kept the flames from the camp grounds through heroic work but it was nearly 6 p. m. before the fire was finally extinguished. The local forest firemen were ca'led about o'clock to ex- “inguish a bl in the Mountain View section. About 10 acres of land was burned over.
