There was a small fire this morning IN
the shop Of the H. N. Cline hardware
store at 9O7 Kansas avenue, which but
for the timely discovery might have de-
veloped into a first-class blaze. Smoke
was noticed in the tin shop and an in
vestigation showed that it was coming
up through the floor. A still alarm was
sent to Station No. / and upon the ar
rival of Captain Gilman a hcSs was made
in the floor, the fire located and soon
extinguished. The fire originated from
some hot ashes which had been carried
out from the chop house next door and
dumped too near the tin shop wall.
These hot ashes and some oil saturated
cloths nearby caused all the mischief.
