A LIVELY BLAZE
In Pile of Plank at Lawrence, NewhaI
& Pages, Calls Department.

The fire department was called out,
Yesterday afternoon. by an alarm from
box A.. at 4.26. at the corner of Maple
ana Willow Streets. which was supple
mented by the blowing of the whistle
at the wood working shop of the Law
renee. Newhall & Page Co. The
sound of the latter whistle and the
smoke and flame which showed above
the tree tops. as seen from the bridge,
gave the impression that the shop was
on fire but on arriving on the scene.
il was found that the fire was in a
pile Of plank in the cOmpany's yard,
north of the shop.
The cause of the fire is thought to
have been n spark from 4 passing loco
motive. and when the department ar
rived one pile Of plank was wrapped in
flames and the fire was working it's
way to the others. but when the water
was turned on. it did not take long to
drown the fire out.
The pile of plank where the fire
caught was valuable stock. being old
growth pine and varying in thickness
from 2h to 4 inches. The plank was
worth about $50 per NJ, and as there
were about so NJ destroyed. the loss
will he considerable. but it is imnos-
sihie ut present to estimate the loss.

agency of c. s. Downing & Son. The
