Fire on the South Side.

Thursday evening the hay stack Of
Jacob Metz on the south side took fire
between 6 an ? o'clock and soon spread
to Dominick Wandler's hay stack along.
side. The fire department responded
promptly. The city engine was lowered
down the hill sloping to the river by the
side Of one of the old N. P. wells and the
6remen soon had two big streams OF
water playing on the stacks which by
this time were enveloped in flames. Up
to this time the boys had kept the flames
from spreading to adjoining hay stacks
with their chemical tanks. The stacks
were very large-some 40 0 n in each
and it took a great quantity of water to
extinguish the flames. The engine
worked finely and after some two hours
of steady pumping the work was &C.
complished.
Fortunately the wind was not blowing
much at the time the fire broke out,
otherwise some 500 tons of hay Stacked
in the lot would have been in danger.
1t seemed to be the general opinion
that the fire was set by some one with
revengeful intent. Some of those who
first discovered the fire in the distance
thought that they saw a person running
in an opposite direction. One party sug-
gested that the fire might have been ac-
cidental. as people were there during the
afternoon working IN the stack that first
took fire.
Mr.. Wander appreciated what the fire.
men did for him and presented the de-
partment with $40. MI. Metz also made
a donation to the department.
