What might have been a disastrous
fire was prevented by Permanent Man
George Secse, of the Neptune Chemical
company, Saturday afternoon. Single
handed he fought the blaze which had
a good start and succeeded in saving
large double dwelling. The fire was
in the home of Thomas McAnrews, on
Throop avenue, Sport Hill. 1t started,
1t is supposed, from a cloth the girl
had been cleaning the stove with and
had been placed in the cellar-way.
Flames soon burst forth and caught
the wood work. Permanent Man Seese
was passing by, and began to fight it
with the only means at hand--a water
bucket. After persistent efforts he
succeeded in extinguishing it, having
by good judgment kept it confined in
the cellar-way. The damage was
about 500. Permanent Man Seese was
the hero of the hour. He was slightly
burned. No alarm was sounded.
