late that evening and Postmaster S. l..
Mas IN waited for it, secured the mail
from the same and went to the post
offic where he did some work AS he
wen to leave he blew the light out.
Apparently some of the fire went down
into the oil, causing the lamp to ex-
plode He carried the lamp out and
threw it into the street and returned
to si1other the fire but was unable to
make any Roadway and gave the alarm.
Assistance from the fire company was
soonlat hand but there was delay in
the water responding which gave the
fire \ start and it spread rapidly indeed.
