Carlin Catholic Church Burned
Carlin Common wealth, April 28: About 5 o’clock this morning the fire whistle gave an alarm and in a very few minutes the volunteers had the hose cart at the hydrant nearest the blaze. The Catholic Church was completely enveloped in flames and it was all the firefighters could do to save the residences of Mrs. Griffin and Sam Buckle. The church is a total loss. Rev. Father Collins was sleeping in the rear of the church and was unable to save his personal belongings.
