TWO DEPoTs, CHURCH, STORAGE
PLANT AND RESIDENCES
BURNED.
IONA SCENE OF FIRE
Whole Town Was at One Time Threat
ened, But Strenuous Efforts Saved
it-Loss Etimsted at $4,000.

A conhagration which for "A time
seriously menaced the entire city OF
lonia, swept over the district III the
vicinity of the Grand Trunk and Pere
Marquette depots Sunday, totally de-
stroying these buildings, the Prssjy-
terian church. Kopptz- Melchers cold
storage plant - freight cars and
coaches and damaging between 20 and
30 dwellings.
The fire started about 10 o'clock in
the Grand Trunk depot, supposedly
having its origin in carelessly tossed
cigar stub. Driven before heavy wind,
the flames spread TO the Pere Mar
quette depot and freight sheds. They
continued for another block and soon
the Presbyterian church and the cold
storage plant were in flames. Blazing
embers were tossed 10 the roofs Of
many of them.
The volunteer fire department at
tackled the fire and being unable to do
little toward extinguishing the flames
in the burning buildings turned most
OF its attention to preventing "A further
spread OF the flames. Volunteer bucket
brigades were formed and fought the
fires in the houses. Women and chill
buckets and I'm some cases throwing
water on the flames. Shortly before
noon II was feared the local depart
ment could not cope with the fire ami
calls for help were sent to Grand Rap
ids and Lansing. Mayor Ellis accom-
panied the Grand Rapids apparatus on
a special train, but by the time it ar
rived the flames were under control
The Lansing department was stoppe !
and sent back at Grand Ledge.
Services were being held in the Pres
byterian church when IL caught fire.
The roof started first and as soon as
the pastor, Rev. w. X. Spencer was
made aware OF the fire he quietly told
the 800 worshippers that the building
was burning and quickly closed the
services with benediction. They left
the building without panic. Half an
hour later the roof crashed in.
At o'clock the fire was under com
plete control, although the flames did
not die out until late at night. Ed
ward Slowinski and Charles Weather
ak, members of the fire department
were the only ones injured. Slowinsni
received cash in the head from a
falling crossbeam from telegraph
pole and WeatheraX sustained dis
located knee.
The loss will probably be more than
100000. IL is estimated as follows:
Pere Marquette, $4,000; Grand Trunk
$4,000; Presbyterian church. 10000:
Koppitz-Melchers' plant, $1,000; resi-
dences, $4,000.
Passenger and freight ears will be
arranged TO form temporary depot
The destruction OF the old depots
means the building of the long-talked
of new structure.
