      On Monday morning between 5 and 6 o'clock the Baden Fire brigade responded to an emergency call from Wellesley when Mr. Woiwade's barn was on fire near the Wellesley school. The two trucks rushed out immediately after the alarm was sounded and reached Wellesley in about 20 minutes through the able management of chief N. M. Steinman.
