The FIRE || BELL
TOWER FALLS
Games Down This Afternoon with a
Crash.-Gust of Wind and Tn
a. sa~ anchored Legs the Cause.

! A gust of wind brought down TIL
new tower for the city's fire bell thfs
afternoon with terrific crash
Falling to the east the tower struck
the wires of the telephone and the
electric light companies, bringing
down poles and landing on buggy
belonging to Jack O'Connor, which
was utterly demolished.
L. Finch, who was in O'Connor's
barn, started to go out of the door,
but saw the tower headed his way
and beat hot foot to safety. Some
say that he did not stop till he got
to Wenatchee avenue, but he main
tains that the report was unfounded.
That no one was hurt is consid-
cred only piece of good fortune, as
there are usually a large number of
people crossing at this place.
The cause of the accident is as
cribed to the fact that the tower had
never been anchored The anchors
were in place but the tower has
never been connected. The usual
good humor prevailed around the
scene of the wreck this afternoon.
even ex-Mayor Scheble taking occa-
sion to facetiously remark that he
knew the city would go to smash
when he got out of Office A crew
of men are at work tearing the tow
er to pieces preparatory to again
putting it in place.
