at a few minutes after lOoclock. Half
| an hour later the flames had eaten
their way up through the three floors
above and soon enveloped the entire
| building.
| "A general alarm was sent out and
nearly every piece of fire apparatus in
! the Getty was soon on the scene, pouring
tons of water into the burning building.
4 The most that could be done was to
prevent the fire from spreading. and
4 this was successfully accomplished.
A midnight nothing but the bare
walls of the building remained. The
firm occupied the entire building. about
4 $50 feet on Third street and running
fire wall divided the building in the
side was saved.
At the rear of the building We're rows
