Business Houses Valued at $4,000
Eaten nv Flames


Cgden. Isi.. Dec. - Gritty work by
the volunteer fireinen of Ogden. assist
ed later by the department from Boone,
which was brought up On II Special
train over the Northwestern, alone
prevented the total destruction of u
large portion of the business section of
Ofden by fire last night AS it is.
three business houses are in ruins, and
damage NariOusly estimated al from
$4,000 to $4,000 has been caused.
The fire started i'm the rear nf the
Beck e McCaslsey bowling alley which
WAS located in a frame building. The
flames, driven by Il strong northwest
wind, started TO work their way east.
The restaurant owned by Aft l.. john
son stood next to the bowling alley,
and WAS entirely destroyed. The flames
pied by the Rundberg furniture store,
one of the largest business houses in
Ogden. This was also entirely de-
stroyed. The walls have fallen in, and
the contents will be practically n total
loss.
The volunteer firemen of ogden
fought the flames bruvely, having good
pressure from the city water works.
Three streams We're kept constantly on
the flames. When the Boone depart
ment arrived, the force of the fire
fighters was greatly augmented, and
the flames We're speedily brought UNI
der control.
The grocery of a. T.. Johnson stood
next to the furniture store and was
slightly damaged before the fire Was
fully eXtinSuisned
The damage might have been mulch
greater had it not been for the brick
wallis of the Rufiberg furniture store,
which furnished Il serious obstacle 20
the flames.
