with the authorities here for sur

piratical trip. The deputation was
received by the general command

to surrender on the same terms Of

which the department has had TO
fight during the past year. Although
no accidents occurred the firemen
were forced to take great risks in
fighting the flames. In the rear of
the basement occupied by F. B..
Wright there were stored large iron
casks of oil which the fremen were
compelled to remove from the build
ing.
Great credit Is due Chief Myers
and the department for the manner
In which the fire was fought. AL
though the entire top Of the struc-
ture occupied by r. B. Wright was
attention solely to the basement,
where the flames were the thickest.
At 1915 the flames had gained such
control that a general alarm was sent
in and every fire equipment in the
city turned out. Twenty minutes
later Fire Chief Myers announced
that the fire was under control.
The tenants Of the building which
was Quilted are: F.. B. Wright &
Co., TIA Riverside, ground floor; w.
T. Clark & Co., real estate brokers;
/ the Best Clothing company, The
and DIR. I. s. karney. 1t was feared
for a time that Ralph Williams, en-
ployed by f. B. Wright & Co., had
ben lost in the flames. but it later
developed that he was safe and
sound. Williams had reentered the
some Of the books.
During the course of the fire two
of the firemen were injured. Captain
keenan, of No. company, while
experimenting the work of fighting
the fire in the front of the f. B.
Wright company's store, was cut by
the flying glass. One of the arteries
of his fourth finger was severed.
Captain keenan,, however. continued
to work Fireman Johnson also was
cut about the hand by the heavy
plate glass. Several of the other
hremen suffered severely from the
thick smoke, which caused many
| hemorrhages from the nose ana ears.
! Sneak thieves attempted to take
advantage of the excitement to loot
the stores and the police had to keep
a yigilant watch. Patrolman Bunker,
stationed at the Mill street entrance
| of the Crescent, stopped several per-
sons who were attempting to enter
| the store.

Burglars entered the Ideal Laun-
dry company's establishment, situ-

night, rolled the safe from the Of
Ace to the engine room, pried open
the door and robbed If OF ties con-
tents, consisting of $72.10 and two
checks amounting to So each.
The robbery was not discovered
until the business of the day was
commenced this morning. The book
keeper on entering the building no.
ticed that the safe was gone. He
at once notified Manager Redhead.
who investigated the matter.
The safe was finally found lying
on the floor of the engine room with
the front door and interior portions
of the strong box smashed to pieces.
Lying beside the safe were tools
OF all description. Manager Red
head states that he thinks the safe
was opened with the aid of large
sledge hammer and cold chisel,
which were found among the other
tools lying on the floor.

ing it would soon be overcome, the
women delayed getting out of the
building until it was too late to leave
by the from entrance.
1t was not until the smoke almost
overcame Mrs. Roseburg that DR..
Karney finally yelled to Fire Chief
Myers to take them out. Ladders
were then raised to the building and
both women climbed safely to the
ground
G. E. Leissner, manager of the F.
B. Wright company. stated that he
first noticed smoke issuing from the
floor of the building on the side to-
ward the Best Clothing company. He
at once called the different clerks
together and sent in an alarm to the
department Before anything could
be saved the store was so filled with
smoke that 1t was impossible for any
one to remain in the building.
Miss Cook, the bookkeeper, how
ever, had presence of mind enough
to save the books. IT is due to her
that two of the ledgers were saved
+. b. Wright stated to a Press rep
resentative that he could not con-
ceive Of how the fire could have
started in his establishment as there
was nothing from which the stock
could have become ignited.
Manager Leissner gave the opinion
that the flames may have started
from the basement under the Best
Clothing company. In the basement
The Palm Candy company has its
candy stored and 1t is thought the
fire may have originated from this
establishment.
]. b. Paterson of the Crescent
stated that the damage to the goods
in the store would be considerable
from the thick smoke. The most OF
the damage to the Crescent will be
confined to the second floor, where

Uds Starting Point For Blaze Which
For Time the Entire Block
From Mill to Post--Heavy Loss to Mer.
chdntS.-U 0nen Rescued.

Fire, which for time threatened
to sweep the entire block on the
north side Of Riverside avenue be-
tween Mill and Post west of the
Crescent dry goods store, broke out
in the basement OF F. b. Wright &
Co.'S store, ia Riverside avenue, at
12:45 o'clock this afternoon. The
loss to that company alone will
amount to from $4,000 to $4,000.
The origin of the fire is mystery.
1t started on the ground floor as one
comes In from Riverside, but in the
second story as one views the build
ing from the rear The flames made
such quick Roadway that no one
seems to have been able to point
out the spot of its start. SUPPOSE
ton suggests that the fire originated
in the offices but it spread from the
center so rapidly that no one knows
just where the first tongue of flame
protruded itself.
The fire department responded with
remarkably quick work. 1t was but
four minutes from the time of the
alarm until two streams were pouring
through the rear windows. The stock
of goods on the second floor, accord
ing to Mr.. Wright, contained no oils
or paints. They were in the base
ment, while the second floor rear was
given over entirely to wall paper and
other interior finishing.
Within 10 minutes from the time
of the alarm the sklight on the root
of the building fell in, thus making
a draught possible. Then the flames
broke out anew. but up to that time
1t was supposed that the fire was UNI
der control.
Efforts of Chief Myers and his fell
low fire fighters were directed after
the first assault on the flames in the
Wright store to protect the adjoin-
ing buildings from the advance OF
the flames. a hose was attached &c
the stsndpipe on the side of the
Crescent store and IN that way water
was raised to the roof. A solid wall
of brick interviewed between this
store and the Wright establishment
and at first 1t was thought that the
blaze would not spread to the east
AS a precaution, however, the girl
employees of the dry goods store were
removed from the building.
Two women were entrapped by the
flames and had to be taken from the
burning building on ladders DR. |
