BLAZE AT The PARK

TURING co. DESTROYED
Loss ESTIMATED AT $4,000

The warehouse adjoining the III A,
Muckle Carriage Manufacturing COM
pany at Milwaukee and Cleveland ave
nues, Merriam Park, was ALMOST totally
destroyed by fire yesterday, and but for
the timely discovery of the blaze by
passerby, the fire might have resulted in
the loss of the plant also. AS 1t was,
however, the manufacturing department.
which was separated from the warehouse
by freproof wall, is intact, being not
damaged at all. The three large fire
proof stock vaults, containing a large
amount Of merchandise, also escaped the
threatening blaze.
The warehouse was three-story brick
building, 15Gx50 feet and the loss to the
building and contents will amount TO
about $4,000 The fire was discovered
at 12:15, when the employees were at din
ner, and Mr. Muclde is of the opinion.
it was caused by some one of the work
men throwing a lighted match careIessly
ON some infiammable material near, Or
on the stairway on the second floor The
first floor was occupied as a showroom
and contained a number of buggies and
cutters, while the second floor contained
a number of hickory wheels and shafts,
which burned merrily when the flames
reached them. There were about 400 cut
tiers on the fourth floor and these were
entirely destroyed.
Mr.. Muckle stated that the loss was
partially covered by insurance and ex-
pressed himself as much pleased with
the quick response of the fire department,
especially Engine Company No. a, which
is almost directly across the street from
the plant. Mr.. Muckle also stated that
the fire would not hinder the company
from resuming operations as usual this
morning, and that they would be just as
well prepared as ever to receive and fill
all orders. The Office, which adjoins the
warehouse, was not damaged, although
at times the fire, which lasted nearly
three hours, looked very threatening.

GOES TOSUpREME COURT
NORMAL BOARD AND IT'S RIVAL TO
APPEAL.


1t has now been definitely determined
that the differences between the state
board of control and the board OF normal
school directors will be taken to the SUI
preme court for adjudication without
further delay.
President Ankeny and Secretary Olsen
of the normal board, held long confer
ence yesterday with Attorney General
Douglas and he agreed that the matter
should be brought before The court with
as little delay as possible. General Doug
las took the case under advisement as to
the best course of procedure, but it is
understood that thus far the plan IA
vored is an application for writ of quo
warranto in which event the name of the
attorney general will be used, although it
is likely that the prosecution will be con-
Quoted by an attorney chosen by the nor
NAL board. In case OF quo warranto
proceedings the matter may be taken at
once into the supreme court without the
Intervention of the lower courts and it is
understood that that is desired by both
of the boards.
