Two Fires.
A slight fire occurred in a back room, up
stairs, of the Fowler candy kitchen, Friday |
afternoon. An alarm was turned in at $50 |
o'clock but the fire was extinguished with a |
hand fire extinguisher.
Shortly before 7:30 o'clock Wednesday |
evening an alarm was turned in from box |
No. 10. The floor of an empty room just |
over the boilers of the Woodland Furniture |
Works caught fire, probably from upward |
flying sparks, and holes were burned through |
1t in several places. The large crowd which |
collected feared that the fire would be a |
large one but owing to its being discovered |
quickly and the prompt action of the fire de-
partment it was soon put out. Some |
of the hose laid across the street car tracks |
was uncoupled once to let a car pass.
In other cities the hose is raised on shears |
so that the cars can pass under. Superin |
tendent Beacham says that as the trolley |
rod can be drawn down onto the car top the |
hose needs to be raised only eight inches |
above the car which can then be coasted |
under the hose.
