The damage probably near $2,500, The origin of’ the fire is uncertain. The theary, was advanced that it started. in a stove in the workshop of the monument company. It was said by employes, however, that no coal was put in the stove after noon yesterday and at 5:30 o’clock last evening the fire had gone out. It is; held not unlikely that someone, seek- ing a warm place, entered the build ing and started a fire. The most ser- ious damage to the building, howe’ was in the west, end, several from the stove. Flames Shoot in Air. When the firemen reached scene the flames were shooting high into the air. Two automobiles were taken out of the burning building, but there was no chance to save the contents of the warehouse. Three lines of hose were played on the fire. Fireman McDonald said the firemen worked to prevent the’ fire from spreading. Had there been a strong wind it is probable thet several other frame buildings in the neighborhood would have caught fire. The frame building occupied Dt Brown’s meat market, within ten feet of the warehouse, was not even mark- ed by the fire. Snow Checks Spread. A moist snow was talling duting the time, which also tended to -pre- yent spread of the blaze. It was not until about 5 ‘a. m. that the firemen left the scene. The water company ‘suffered a logs of about $1,000 in, contents of the, warehouse, according to A. J. Os-| trander, including a large amount of! brass and equipment. Mr. Ostrander, ; who was watching the booster pump, did not know that it was the stwe- house of the company which was on fire. ‘This morning workmen were busy cleaning up the ruins of the fire. The damage caused the monument company could not be accurately es- timated this morning. Part of the office equipment, as well as that of the workshop, was damaged. ‘Mr. Carufel thought the, loss might reach $1,520. The part of the building occupied by the warehouse was one of the old-| est buildings in town. according to} Sandy McDonald.‘ It was moved to that site several years ago. i ROTARIANS T0 GO “FARGOING” IN A PULLMAN Special Car to Take Local Men te Big District Meeting will reach’ feet the Rotarians are going “Fargoing” on March 27.
