Firemen Save the BIOdgett-OsgOOd
Plant.


Only a four-foot square f1reproof door
saved the Blodgett & Osgood Manufacturing
company's plant at Newcome and Seventh
street from probable destruction by fire,
which started in the engine room shortly be-
fore II o'clock last night. After a hard fight
of several hours, with the aid of two en-
gines called from the downtown district the
fremen succeeded in extinguishing the flames
with an estimated loss of $3.50, fully COW
cred by insurance.
The fire was discovered in the engine room
where it had gained considerable Roadway
through a pine board f1ue communicating at
one end with the main plant and at the
other with the drying kiln. Despite the
efforts of the two companies of firemen on the
bluff the flames soon reached the dry kiln
when second alarm was sent in calling for
more apparatus. The flames spread through
the flue toward the machinery room and pan
ing mill, but were checked by the fireproof
door between until the arrival of the other
engines, when the danger to the main plant
was averted. The chief damage is to the en-
CINE room and machinery, though the dry
kiln was damaged to the extent of several
hundred dollars.
