TWO CALLS TO A
FIRE AT A HOTEL
Blaze in Room on Fourth Floor of the
Rock Island House Threatens the
Structure for Few Minutes.

Fire which broke out in one of the
rooms in the rear of the west side of
the Rock Island house at 6 o'clock
last evening for time threatened to
cause considerable damage, and it was
not until the fire department had
made two runs to the scene that the
flames were entirely extinguished.
TIE fire was caused by the ignition
of gasoline fumes. One of the en-
rloyes was using gasoline in cleaning
and as the room has but single win
dow, she lighted a gas jet. The gaso-
line fumes were at once ignited and
set fire to the mattress on the bed
A dense smoke soon filled that part
of the hotel, and the employees fled
to a safer place. 1t was but few
minutes before the department had ap.
paIently removed all signs of fire, but
the wagons had hardly been gone five
minutes before a second alarm was
turned in. Some of the guests were
alarmed by the sight of the dense
smoke pouring from the windows, but
| the fire was so promptly controlled
by the department that no panic re
suited The only damage was that
