FIRE IN A BAKERY.
started Some Distance from Big oven
and Origin II Unknown.

The smartest blaze in his city within
the past few weeks was the one which
occurred at a. s. Fassett's bakery, "
School street, Tuesday and which com
pletely Quilted the baking room and char
red both the interior and exterior Of
other portions of the building.
The alarm for the fire was sounded
from box % on LOOMS street at 1901
p. M. and there was Il prompt general
response from the several fire companies.
The fire was discovered by Mrs. fassett
in a corner OF the baking room in the
basement of the building occupied by
the family as a dwelling. The origin
Of the blaze is unknown. It was
discovered in a corner of the room, far
thest away from the oven, so 1t seems
entirely unlikely that 1t started from
sparks which might have come from
that source. The days baking had been
completed for some time and there was
practically no fire in the fire box OF the
oven. The last person known to enter
the basement was n city carter. who de-
livcred some goods there n short time
previous to the discovery OF the blaze.
Directly above the place where the fire
was discovered there was a gas Jet and
when the heat melted the fixture the gas

were charred and the flames reached the
roof, but were subducd before serious
damage was accomplished there. Much
Of the glass in the windows was broken.
The work lone by the firemen was excel
lent and their prompt efficiency was all
that saved the total destruction of the
building. and. perhaps. adjoining property
as well. They worked about an hour be-
fore the flames were ~extinguished.
Mr.. Fassctt was unable to state the
exact amount of his loss. The building
