Fire was seen issuing from the
cellar window at j. H. Halls house
at $3.50 Thursday afternoon. The
alarm vas promptly given and a
bucket brigade soon had the fire ex-
tinguished. The cellar contains a
hot air heating plant, and about two
or three tons of coal. A plank stood
up beside the furnace pipe leading to
the chimney to prevent the coal from
injuring the pipe. Apparently the
weight of the ccal pressed the plank
against the pipe and a heavy fire in
the furnace set the plank on fire. At
first it was thought to be spontaneous
combustion in the coal, but a more
thorough Investigation showed the
former theory the more likely to be
correct.
