Just south of the mailing company's

successful, for several freight cars
were destroyed.

cd at great disadvantage owing to the
great height of the building. When
the flames broke through the roof OF
the elevator large sheets of iron
plates fell from the building and great
ly added to the danger of the firemen.
The sheet iron plates were red hot
and were thrown clear of the build
ing, endangering the lives of the men
working near.
