Yesterday morning about 1915 an
alarm from box 413 called the department
to tie A. f. Cox & Son shoe factory on
CEoss street. The chemical got on a
stream and sdbdued the flames but it was
necessary to put On hydrant stream in
order TO entirely extinguish the fire. The
fire was in the coal pen in the boiler
room, in the basement of the building.
The coal is soft coal and the fire probably
originated in spontaneous combustion.
Some of the members of the Montgomery
Guards happened to be sitting at the
window of the arnory and saw the smoke
pouring out Of the building. They quick
~ pulled in an alarm. The department
made remarkably good time for before
the first round of the alarm was sounded
chemical and steamers were at the fire.
The loss to the building will be slight.
What injury the smoke has done to
the stock remains to be soen. 1t is
completely covered by insurance. Mr..
Cox doesn't think it will exceed one or
two hundred dollars.

tors. The bills are returnable in Octo Der.
