A BIG BLAZE AT
The SANITARIUM,
MINERAL Water Bathing Establishment Wis.,
tied by Fire Caused Much Excitement
All Fire Ladies' Out.

At 2'2O this afternoon an alarm ~
hre was turned In from the Sanltarum
and at the time this report closed M
O'Clock, departments !, 2 and vera
still working on the blaze and had
succeeded in getting It under control
The fire was a very nasty ono ON ac.
count OF the great volume Of smoke
which poured from the roof and filled
the building with its sulphurous fumes.
The blaze was first discovered bv
Sidney Reynolds, an employe of The
Utah Light d Power company. as no
was putting in new carbons in the are
light over the south pool, From the
time he turned in the alarm until the
department came to the scene on the
run there were some very lively Incl
dents which included an energetic
parade of individuals in very scant at
tire.
AS soon as Chief Devlne arrived on
the scene he saw that he had bad
blaze to deal with so he promptly
called out No. from ! street.
The steamer got down to work and
connected with the hydrant across the
street so that in very short order four
streams were playing on the bloze
which was between the roof and the
ceiling at the south end OF the building
devoted to the bath tubs and ladies'
plunge.
The origin OF the fire is a mystery at
this time, as there are said TO be no
wires In the roof or near where the
blaze started Mr. G. c, Snyder, when
seen stated that he could not imagine
how the thing got started. Beyond this
statement he would say nothing else
and declined TO be quoted as to the
insurance carried.
The story of the commencement Of
the excitement is best TOLD In the words
Of Mr.. Reynolds, who said: Il was
putting in carbon In the light over
the south pool" he said, when my at
tention was attracted by some smoke
that was issuing through the south
west corner Of the roof near one Of
the rooms. did not think that Il
was fire for second but when / saw
a fame creeping along the woodwork
