Davenport, Aug. 23.-Fire was discov-
cred in the sash and blind factory of the
r. j. SIZZLING & Company establish
ment on West Sixth and Marquette

An alarm was turned in by some one
who had noticed the blaze and in a few
minutes the department was on the
ground. The Skies arrived first and pres
emily second alarm brought out the
other companies. 1t was hard job for
the firemen, but with the assistance OF
the admirable pressure furnished by the
water company they made all the head
way possible, and tho they could not
prevent the practically total destruction
OF the factory building and the sheds
and lumber near by they succeeded in
preventing any spread to the residen-
ces, which were go close to the mill and
at one time in such imminent danger of
going up in smoke. The fire was not en-
tirely out until after midnight. Thou
sands Of people from all parts of the city
and from across the river visited the
scene OF the fire, which could be seen
plainly for great distance. An Incl
dent of the struggle to subdue the flames
was the breaking of hose belonging to
the Twos. The loss is estimated at
about $4,000. The insurance amounts
to $4,000.
