SATURDAYS FIRE.

1 It was between l and a. m, Satur- 1 day, when tire broke out in the build-
 ings in the rear of the Hickok block,
 at the corner of Center and Chestnut
 streets. Some small bt.rns owned by
 George H. HickOk are located south-
 vest of the block, and adjoining are | the barn, StOrehOuSe and store of Starr
 c. Barnum. All buildings and sever-
 al more are closely connected, and it
 was somewhere in or between these buildings that the fire started. When | first discovered it was we'll under way and had every indication of being a
 most serious contiagation. Flames were bursting from one of the barns
 and the rear of MT Barnum's store
 house. Many feared that the whole
 square would be wiped out, as the
 buildings are closely located. The fire
 man went to work with will, and it is great wonder that the flames were extinguished SO quickly before damage was done to adjoining structures It
 was the first fire under John Cords,
 the new chief off the fire department, and MT Cords is receiving many con
 graulatiOnS for the able manner in
 which the fire was handled. To be sure one thing in the tire1nan's favor was the fact that there. was no wind, for had there been lively breeze the flames would have spread more rapid
 ly and made the fire more difficult one to fight. As it was it was rather hard to get at all portions of the fire on account of the close proximity of buildings, and the flames creeping in between partitions and floors had to be constantly watched. The fire is said to have been first discovered from distance by party driving from Dan bury. Their shouts of tire awakened those first to get up, and shortly after the new tire alarm was sounded. liar vey Mackenzie, who was first to reach the alarm tower, made the alarm ring out in good shape. The fremen had three streams of water on the flames morning that the pressure of the wa ter was something great. It came through the nozzles with such force as | to rip the shingles off of roofs. Mir Barnum'S StOrehouse was well filled, 1 which, together with his drug de- partment, was all destroyed. Eyery- thing in the front store is more or less damaged with smoke.-[Danbury News.
