Mandan Pioneer: What threatened
to develop into a destructive FIRE at the
Inter Ocean hotel was nipped in its
incipiency by means of a fire extin-
guisher. MIR. Barrows has a gasoline
plant for lighting purposes. The drip
pings canght FIRE and the blaze shot up
the ceiling. The heat from the flames
caused the pipe through which the
gasoline passes to become unsoddered
letting a spray of fluid propelled by
forty-6ve pounds of pressure to play on
the flames. This intensified the blaze
and made conditions more threatening.
Mr.. Barrows seized the extinguisher
and let it play on the flames for a few
minutes; an attendant shut off the
pressure and what might have been
a destructive fire was averted.
