Illinois Brick Company's
Plant Was Destroyed by
Flames Last Night-Loss
is Complete, Will Amount
to $4,000.
TOWN DEPENDED ON INDUSTRY
AND BLAZE IS CALAMITY
Hot Box Thought to Have Been Re
sponsible for the Disaster-Ab-
sence of Fire Protection Makes
Efforts to Subdue Flames, Futile
Especial to Lake County Times.)

Especial to Lake County Times.)
Lansing, IIl..Sept. z6-The most dis
astrous fire that has ever visited this
town, started in the brick yards be-
longing to the Illinois Brick company
and before the flames were under con-
troll, all of the buildings in the yards
had been destroyed with a loss es-
timated to be $4,000.
Perhaps the greatest loss will be TO
the people of Lansing, who will be
deprived of the only industry they
have. one which employed in the
neighborhood of seventy-five men.
This was the mainstay of the village
and unless the Illinois Brick company,
which owns the property, decides to re-
build. a body blow will be struck to
the prosperity of Lansing and the sur
rounding territory.
Hot Box Responsible.
The fire started as a result of a hot
box on one of the fans that is used
to dry the bricks. It is said that
there were none of the workinmen
in the vicinity of the fan at the time
the fire started and so its origin is
not exactly known.
It is believed. however that the fire
from the hot box ignited some re-
fuse that was lying around and that
the flames spread to several barrels
of lubrtcsting oils that were kept in
the vicinity and that the fan simply
served to spread the fire throughout
the whole building.
The flames were discovered by some
of the residents of the village who
called the matter to the attention of
the working men at the plant. The
I
fan, however caused the flames to
spread with marvellous rapidity and as
there was no means of fire protec-
| ton anyway, the men were compelled
20 stand by and watch the fire con-
sumo the structure.
Main Loss In Machinery.
| Although there were several build
| ings burned, the engine room, the kiln
loss will be to the machinery and to
the sheds.
The Lansing plant of the Illinois
Brick company is but one of several
that are owned by this big concern
in various parts of the country and
1t is said to be one of the largest.
Only plain brick were fired here, but
the output was large and steady. and
most of the product of the plant was
shipped to Chicago
The Lansing concern is one of sew
eral which are located in this vicinity
| where there is an exceptionally gooo
quality of clay for the manufacture
/ of plain brick. There are other plants
in the vicinity owned by other com
panies such as the one at Dolton
the one at Bernice. the one at Maynard
. in addition to several others of small
er size such as the ones at Globe sta
ton.
The fire caused great excitement
among the residents of the village
and the farmers in the vicinity ant
It is said the sight of the flames a:
they consumed the dry boards of th'
various buildings. was a great spec
tacle
The general manager at the Chicago
Office Of the Illinois Brick compan!
was interviewed as to the loss ant
