Came Near Being 4 Bad Fire.

| Friday night, Sept. Is. was an unus
ual night for fires in Dickinson. The
first alarm was sounded on account
OF q fire which broke out about
O'Clock in the barn at the rear of the
Michael Collins residence. on Barnes
street. The damage was not large
probably about $5O-and rs the barl,
was some distance from any other
building the flames were easily kept
from spreading. How the fire origi.
mated is not known, though it is gen.
orally believed that boys smoking
cigarettes or handling matches ia
some way was the cause of the mis-
chief.
At half-past IL the second alarm
of fire was given. This time the fire
was located in the Fennell barn back
of Ztner & Iams' meat market. The
hay and light stuff around made a
u quick fire and it was with some
difficulty that two of the three horses
in the barn were liberated from the
leaping flames, and the saving of ad.
jacent buildings was looked upon as
an impossibility for few minutes.
The wind was blowing from the east.
Every body on the ground took hold
willingly and did everything in their
power to keep the flames from spread.
ing. l. G. DeGraff was on hand with
his six gallon Babcock extinguisher,
which did very effective work around
the edges, and the fire company was
not long in getting their hose laid
and a stream of water playing on
the fire. OF course the building was
small and when the fire company had
once got fairly to work it was not five
minutes before the people could see
that the flames were under control.
Incendiarism is quite generally be.
lieved to have been the origin of the
fire, but it may have been the care.
lessness of some one smoking.
