Explosions from the Maney mill, caused by mill dust’ and falling walls, caused much excite- ment. Blazing cascades of grain from the elevators ran out onto the railroad | tracks and impeded the work of (he] | firemen. Householders were busy ex-} un;ullhing the flamu in their home | Toofs.

He was just making his rounds, | beginning at the ground floor and work- | ing upwards. In another part of the bulld- | ing was 'W. W. Bolser, 1624 Cass street, | the night watchman. Both men turned in | alarms, “I had just ing room on flames burst opened the door to the cool- the second floor when the upon me,” he said. “The, cooling room was then a blazing furnace and 1 could see that It was burning| fiercely. The tnder-like material was | simply a mass of flames, “My first act Was to try to reach the | fire.alarm box in the stairway. The fire, | however, was so Intense about me that I was unable to reach it. 1 then went to| the telephone in the office and notified | company No. 6 which was first on the scene.” | | “B. B. Bolser, the night watchman, was in the south end of the bullding. He was attracted by the blaze about the same time | that Wyrick first saw the flames and | | turned n an alarm by telephone. Flames Make Rapld Headway. | “The fire made rapid headway in the | cooling room,” said Bolzer. "It seemed no | time at all before the entire first floor was ablaze with the flames quickly spreading | to the north wing and the stories above, “It was scarcely & half hour before the | blazing torches were carried by the wind | | to the freight cars in ‘the yards and in a few minutés long trains of empties and | loaded cars were in flames. | “Fire broke out in the Maney mill within | a few minutes after the flames communi- | cated-to the freight cars. Windows in the | Maney mill melted in the flerce heat and | | glowing embers were carried into the tin- der-like Interior of the building. Within a few moments the Nye-Schneider-Fowler | elevator, the Maney mill and the frieght yards were ablaze. ‘Crossed wires, spontaneous combustion incendlary origin are given causes. of the conflagration. The most | plausible of th seems (o be that of | | erossed wires in the cooling room of the | Nye-Schnetder-Fowler elevator. “I can n no other reason for the origin than that of crossed electric wires, sald Wyrick, the night manager. “When I | opened the big door to the cooling room 1 faced & blazing furnace.

Countless minor fires started among the dwellings Iying to the north of the fire. In this danger zone householders and spectators fought to extinguish the fires that started from the sparks. It was ceaseless vigil. Bxplosion the Climax, As the fire gained force it became more spectacular, reaching a climax when the | explosion in the Maney mills plant came.
