AFTERNOON BLAZE.
Box 81, at the corner of Granite and
Cutler streets, called the fire depart
ment to fire in H. N. Slater's stone
block, at SIS o'clock Monday after
noon.
A mistake was made when an alarm
was rung in, for when Chief Pattison
and the Spy man arrived at the scene
of the fire, it had been extingIished.
The fire was in a wood box in rear of
the stove in the kitchen.
On the way to the fire a man, by the
name Of Barney, probably so excited
that he did not know what he was do
ing, attempted to cut off and pass the
chief, both horses going on the dead
run.
The driver and his companions were
very nearly overturned by his foolish
act.
