SMALL BLAZE THIS MORNING.
About halfpast twelve this morning a fire
was discovered in the rear part of the toy
store, No. 203 West Third street, near Seven
Corners, occupied by man named Brantigan.
The flames had got pretty well
started, but they were extinguisaed
by the family and Officer Baer, so
that the steamers had nothing to do when
they got there. The fire took from pan of
ashes that were left In the rear of the store,
after taking down the stove yesterday. Officer
Baer pulled Eox but the alarm came IN in
all sarts OF ways 50 that no one could tell
where to go. The steamers drove around for
time hunting, and at last found the spot
through the directions of citizens. The
alarms sounded from boxes 10 and 16 for the
fire this noon, came in then in such an indef-
mite and confused way that no one could tell
W here the fire was. The fire commissioners
ought to ascertain, if possible, what the mat
ter is with the fire alarm and have the diff
Guilty removed at once.
