FIRE AT THE CRAWFORD
Prompt Work of Department Saves

Fire threatened the Crawford theater
this morning. At 1880 O'Clock the fire
department was called to put out a fire
in the front part of the basement of the
Crawford heater building underneath
the store room occupied by h Grand

The fire was caused by a careless
workman who had been engaged to
thaw out the water pipes leading from
the water main in the street to the
standpipe which runs up from h base
ment of the building to the top floor
for fire protection.
The four inch water pipe passes

The fire was caused from the flames of
a plumbers torch which was turned
against the pipe to thaw it. It is said the
plumber went away and left the torch to
care for itself. and as a it
set the woodwork of the boxing and the
sawdust on fire.
The fire department was called and the
