FIRE IN MASTERTON.
OUTBUILDINGS DAMAGED. An outbreak of fire occurred laßt night in a store shed at the back of tho premises occupied by Mr J. Hume, storekeeper, and spread to a cart shed belonging to Mr 0. F. Daniell. The fire brigade ai rived on the scene, in response to a vigorous alarm sounded on the fire bell, and owing to some difficulty with the water supply, tho men were handicapped for a time.
