Watson Bros new warehouse had a
, close call to being burned out last
night. The sagebrush that had been
scattered over the approaches ignited
from a passing locomotive. The fire
was seen by Mr.. +. l.. Watson's daugh-
ter from their window and they at
once aroused their father who ran up
to the building and threw sand OH the
fire that was burning nearest the
building. He then hurried across to
the Antlers Hotel and aroused his
brother. F. II. Watson, and Landlord
keefer. These three men and w. j.
Duncan, who came across from his
residence, succeeded in putting out the
fire with sand and also with water
from the nearest fiume, which they
carried over in a tub. The wind was
blowing from the south, which aided
them very much. Had the wind been
blowing from the west, conf1agration
would have resulted which would
probably have taken all the buildings
just north of the tracks, including the
two lumber yards, the Moore ware
house and some of the nearby resi-
dences. Fortune favored kennewick
for once, surely.
