An Incipieni Blaze.
Yesterday afternoon the department was
called out by an incpient fire in John New
quist's saloon. No 224 South Main street.
During the afternoon gas was smelt in the
saloon and the bartender, John Gopher,
tried the jets by lighting them. 1t was
found that the gas was not escaping from
these. He then examined the meter in a
little closet in one corner of the room and
found the gas was escaping from the pipe.
He closed thd opening by applying little
soap. He then lit a match to lind out if
there was any further escape, when the gas
became gnited and caused large blaze,
which he soon smothered by closing the
closet door. In SO doing his hands were
frightfully burned. His face was burned
slightly. also his hair and mustache. The
department made excellent time. and, as
usual, there was considerable excitement.
