Chief Miller Thinks This Was
Cause of Fire Which Gutted
Part of Monarch Laundry
This Morning.
OIL FOUND ON FLOOR
BY THE FIRE CHIEF.
One of the Proprietors of the
Place Disagrees With Miller
However, on Origin of the
Fire.

Fire, thought to have been of an in
room on the second floor of the Mon
arch laundry, South Eighth street, at
O'Clock this morning. 1t threatened
to destroy the entire establishment in
which event it would probably have
spread to the Main street business dis
trict with disastrous results.
Two days ago a small fire broke out
in the same room but the department
quickly extinguished it. When the
department reached the blaze this
morning the room was a raging fur
mace, but Chief Miller and his assist
ants soon had the situation in hand
and prevented the flames from licking
their way to the first floor of the es-
tablishment.
The proprietors of the establishment
are James A. Gwyn and Gilbert r.
Mitchell Mr. Mitchell is not inclin-
ed to believe that the fire was the
work of an incendiary. but thinks that
it resulted from smouldering cinder.
Miller states that he is sure some one
made an attempt to ourn the building
as the floor of the room was covered
with oil. This was what made the
blaze so fierce. The room where the
fire originated was used as the car
pet cleaning department
This morning after the blaze
had beap evtipo,,iSbad Mr Mitch
ell stated that he could offer no
explanation for the cause of either one
of the fires. In the room where the
blaze ragged there was no inflamables
such as coal oil or gasoline. He said
that the one machine In this room
was operated by steam which is gener-
ated on the first floor.
Mr.. Mitchell stated that after the
first blaze two days ago, it was
thought that the fire might have orig
mated by a spark blowing into the
room through a crevice in the iron
work. All crevices were then patched
up. His only possible explanation for
the fire this morning, he stated was
that the first blaze had not been thor
oughly extinguished Mr. Mitchell
states that last evening before the
laundry was closed. Mr.. Gwyn visited
the carpet cleaning room and did not
detect anything wrong.
The proprietors of the establishment
state that they do not know what the
loss will amount 10. Two carpets were
destroyed, the carpet cleaning ma
china nracticoIly ruipad apd tho mo-
chimes on the first floor damaged by
water Mr. Mitchell states that there
was practically no insurance carried
because of the almost prohibitive in
Surance rates.
