Flames Started ON the Seventh Floor
and Destroyed the Entire Building
Explosions in the Basement Added
to the Excitement.

Chicago, Dec. GA fire which de.
stroyed property worth 100000 in west
VanBuren Street today started on the
second floor Of seven-story brick build
ing occupied BY the Cash Buyers Union.
The building was entirely destroyed.
The fire spread rapidly and soon as
sunied large proportions.
Extra calls for men and apparatus
were sent in and so fierce did the blaze
become that the burning sparks, carried
|by a high gale, we're driven far over the
district and buildings blocks away
caught on fire.
An explosion iii the basement Of the
Cash Buyers Union tore lip street and
sidewalks, throwing fireineii into the
air and tearing the live wires off the
street car line down. The walls col
lapsed and the minor explosions made
the fire intensely exciting.
Fireman Fred Blockia was hit on the
head by falling brick and severely in
jured.
