Yesterday evening dill dloi III VI ~
was turned in from box 20, caused by
Mann's foundry being Oh fire. The
fire department responded promptly
and soon had the fire under control.
The fire started in the ventilator OF the
main building. and is supposed to nave
caught from the cupola. The alarm
was turned on by some of the nelghoorS
in the vicinity of the foundry, and had
gained considerable Roadway before
the department could get there,
but was kept down considerably
by a stream of water that was
thrown upon the fire from hose that
belonged to the foundry. The loss Will
amount TO somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of $500. Our Fire Department
cannot get too much praise for their
promptnesS in turning out to fire, and
some of the chronic kickers who tried
to down the electric fire alarm system
will have to acknowledge that 1t was
due to the correct and quick alarm
that saved Mann'S Foundry from being
in ashes last night and the loss or
money in wages etc, TO this town II 1t
had of burned would pay for several
