Four Thousand Bales of Straw Con- sumed—Grangers’ Hotel Saved by Hard Work of Volun- teer Brigade. —_— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, June 1L The warehouses of George Althauser at ! Alvarado, with 4000 bales of straw, besides four Southern Pacific flatcars, were burned on Saturday, causing a loss of $10,000. The fire threatened to destroy the Gran_gers‘ Hotel, a high wind blowing in the direction of the building, and carrying sparks and embers for a mile over the town. The most active work of a volun- teer fire brigade prevented the destruction of much more property. The fire started in a corner of the huge warehouse and spread so quickly through the plles of inflammable straw that there was not time to attempt to save anything from the structure. On the tracks at the warehouse was a train of freightcars. Some of these were hauled out of danger. but the four which were burned could not be moved. The townspeople organized a bucket brigade and bent their cfforts to save the village. The Grangers' Hotel is a large frame structure directly opposite the warehouse, and it was frequently in | danger from the blazing cinders and the flaming debris which were blown across the railroad trac A fortunate shifting of the wird alded the fire fighters in their work. Fhe fire cleaned out the ware- houses and contents very speedily. but for hours afterward cople w com- pelied to watch ncipient blazes | through the town The burned building was 200 feet lang and was about half full of straw. The contents belonged to Ed Salz of Decoto Both warehouse and contents were in- cured.
