stroyod together with several hundred

story high with the exception Of the
boiler house which consisted of two
stories They were made of frame and
readily fed the flames.
The odor caused BY the fire was very
offensive and was detected to such an ex-
tent that residents sought the shelter of
their homes and closed every door and
window as tight as possible The blaze
lighted up the heavens and could be seen
for miles around.
When the fire broke out citizens did all
i'm their power 70 fight the flames but IL
was found that all their efforts were use
less All they could do was to let the
flames have their sweep.
