BAPTISM OF FlRE.
The Roof of tho Ferry Mil Foundry
Burned on

The Roof of tho Ferry Mil Foundry
Burned on
The old Ferry rolling nal, beyond
Third street bridge, received another
baptism Of fire and water at 1 05 o'clock
this morning The damage will amount
TO about 81, 500 fully insured
The fire started IN the foundry and
was discovered by Foreman William j.
Shiles. Box No. II, at Third and Rail
road avenue was struck, and a second
alarm was sounded from box No. ~ at
Heald and Lobdell streets.
Shiles first saw the flames in the end
OF the building near the rear.
The Fire Department responded with
alscrity, and the engines were accom-
panied by the usual large crowd of fire
hangers on. When the fremen reached the
mills the fire had gained much Roadway,
and the roof was all ablaze
The flames we're blown toward
the creek, and this prevented them
from spreading to the adjoining build
ings. The surroundings made 1t a matter
of such difficulty for the department to
get into service In some instances the
engines had to pump from the creek on
account Of ''reducers" being attached TO
the plugs in the yard
The burned building was 75x160 feet
in size. The adjoining building was BOX
100 feet. At one time IL was threatened.
By a singular coincidence these two
buildings were the only two saved during
the recent fire which almost wiped out
the plant.
The FIRE this morning was confined to
the building in which it originated, and
the only damage done W as to burn of
the roof and damage the framework.
The employees of the rolling mills did
not stop work but made regular time with
all the excitement raging around them
As a matter of precaution the com.
pany's horses were removed from the
stables on the south side to place Of
