pRoMpTNEss SAVES BUILDING
Early Discovery Of Blaze in D. c. vii"
bur Store Basement, and Quick Work
of Department, Prevents Disastrous
outcome-Fifteen Minutes After
Alarm, Fare is out--LittIe Damage.

The prompt discovery, and the work
of the fire department, that followed,
prevented Tuesday evening what might
have resulted in a disastrous fire and
the loss Of the Masonic block on West
Main, between FRS. and Second
streets. At $40 Thomas Lamb saw
smoke emerging from basement win
dow of the D. G. Wilbur store, reported
it Immediately to AL Friedrich, who
telephoned an alarm. The central sta
ton crew was on hand not over a few
moments later, and even before the
alarm had finished sounding, and in
fifteen minutes time all danger was
over and the loss had been held down
to few dollars
The fire had a curious origin. The
front chimney of the block is built
down thru the southwest wall of the
Wilbur store, and in the basement,
used as a store room for caskets, trim
mings, mattresses and other highly in
fammable material, a fue cap was
missing, as the chimney was not used
in that part OF the building. A ten
ant in apartments over the Meeker
laundry had a hot fire burning in a
kitchen range, and the SCOT of the
chimney became ignited. In falling
particles OF burning SCOT fell out from the
open flue in the Wilbur basement, set
ting fire to the siding, flooring, .oists
and rafters, and by the time that
enough smoke was rnade to give war
ming the fire had got pretty hot An
area Of about two and one-half feet
square was badly scorched and a few
Of the basement contents, more partic-
ularly some white burial cases, were
somewhat damaged by smoke. The loss
will be very slight, however, and is
fully covered by insurance.
With a fifteen-rninute start Chief
Kirby said this morning that there
would have been another story to tell,
especially with the wind Of Tuesday
evening prevailing, as the fire, with
good Roadway, could easily have dam
aged, il not destroyed, the entire half
block Of business structure in a short
time.
Because OF the good work done by
the firemen, Mr.. George Wilton. own
er of the block sent to the central sta
ton this morning check for SIS. to-
gett,er with a letter of appreciation for
the efforts. Mr.. Wilbur also sent a
present to the boys in the shape Of a
couple of boxes of cigars.
