 AN EARLY MORNING FIRE. Precinct officers Discover a BIaze in a Saloon and by Their Prompt Action Quickly Ext1nguish lt-The Damage Slfght-SIeeping Families Alarmed A Narrow Escape.
 Officers Shannahan and Kelly of the pre- cinct while patrolling their beats on Grand avenue at a quarter of o'clock this morning discovered fire in the saloon of James Ty- Till at the corner of Grand avenue and Haven street. One of the officers broke alarmed the inmates of the large tenement house in which the saloon is located and sent out an alarm from box S3 at the corner of East Grand and James streets. The fire department responded promptly, but their services were not needed, as the off cers exttnguished the fire, which had caught in very mysterious manner under the bar. The loss will be about $100 The officers prompt action saved the building from destruction as the fire, if it had got much headway in the inhammable material in the saloon, would have been hard to quench and may have caused loss of life, as there were many sleeping families in the building.
