IT WAS A SERIOUS BLAZE
FIRE THAT II THOUGHT TO
HAVE BEEN INcENDIARY.

SOAe'S moCntne 0nOpo 0u0 FOun-
DRY DestrOved-Heavy I.Ovs En-
tailed without Much Insurance
Valuable Patterns
Asheville's fire department spent two
hours battling with stubborn blaze
early this morning and saved consider
able property by its efficient work. Even
with this protection. however, there was
a disastrous fire with loss of upwards
OF $4,000. J. B. Cole is the loser, the fire
having destroyed his foundry and ma
chine shops on Buttrick street.
The fire was the first serious one Ashc-
vile has had for months. 1t must have
started about one o'clock, and suspicious
are entertained by Mr.. Cole and others
that an incendiary is responsible. 1t
was about 1:30 when w. Piper, a ma.
chinist in the shop, who lives next door,
heard noise caused by the falling OF
burning timbers and when be rushed to
his window the entire western end of the
foundry was in flames. Mr.. Piper saws
the fire must have been burning for some
time because of the headway it had
gained.
BY the time an alarm could be turned
In and the fire companies turn out the
foundry was a mass of flames and moth
ing could be done toward saving it. The
foundry was one story high, 3Ox6O feet
in size, and shcathed with corrugated
iron. Adjoining it was the machine shop,
3Ox65, with an extension 80 feet square,
These caught also. and it was only by
hard work on the part Of the firemen
that they were kept from being totally
destroyed. The roof of the main shop is
gone, but the annex is practically whole.
In the foundry, and destroyed with it,
were many valuable patterns used in
molding. Mr.. Cole says he could not
replace these for less than $4,000. The
building cost $500, and with the destruc-
tion OF molding frames and other equip
ment inside the loss on this is brought
up to about $3,s00. The machine shop
contained an engine and machinery val
ued at $4,000, but the work of the fire.
men kept the damage on this equipment
down to about 5000, with loss of
$500 on the building. All told the loss
is about s., 900 and the insurance is only
a trifle, amounting to $3.50 on each build
ing. 1t was placed with L. A. Farinholt.
The theory of incendiarism was openly
expressed after the fire. There was fire
in the foundry yesterday for molding,
but this was carefully put out after the
days work was over and MIR. Cole, and
Deputy Sheriff Greeplee say they passed
the foundry at 1880 and all was well.
