CLIMBING INTO HIS ROOM
Loses Hold and Tumbles rs Feet
Striking on Pile of Rock-Arm
Broken and Badly Bruised.

Benjamin Johnson of Alta, Iowa,
student in the commercial department

Building on Fifth Avenue Occupied by
WiIIets-Magin Company
is Destroyed.
TOTAL LOSS PUT AT SIS, 900
Poor Water Pressure at Start Pre-
vents Firemen from Saving Struc-
ture-MoIine Helps.

Rock Island was the scene of an
other costly fire last Saturday
evening when the old plant of the
Rock Island Brewing company on
Fifth avenue burned, half of it being
totally destroyed and causing a prop
erty loss of about $4,000. The Will
lets-Magin Manufacturing company
leased the part of the building which
was total ruin and the loss of the
company is somewhere in the neigh
boorhood of $4,000, although Mr.. Will
lets is unable to state the exact loss
because of the fact that the safe con-
tanning all the accounts of the firm is
still in the heated ruins and may be
destroyed. Insurance to the extent of
$4,000 will cover a large part OF the
loss on the machinery of the company
and the building is covered with in
surance. The company was engaged
in the manufacture of novelty wire
goods and was doing a good business,
having from so to 100 employees ac-
cording to the orders on hand.
The plant was moved here from ST.
time both Mr.. Magin ana Mr.. Willets
were interested in it but subsequently
ill health caused Mr.. Magin to with
draw and sell out to Mr.. Willets who
continued the business under the orig
inal name.
Confined TO One Building.
The loss to the brewing company
is confined to the building. The west
half of the building was saved al
though fire gained enough of hold
there to make the task difficult. The
stables in the rear of the destroyed
part and the bottling works and offices
east of the Willets plant were both un-
harmed.
The call was received at the Central
fire station at $40 and soon thereafter
call for aid was sent to Moline which
met with quick response.
, The origin of the fire is still un-
known and will probably remain SO
boy who was playing around the
stables. He notified the night watch
man and the alarm was sent in at
once. The water pressure was very
poor, however. and streams could not
be brought to play on the blaze in
time to squelch it. Water pressure
is gained by gravity from the reser
voirs on the hill and this pressure has
been found wanting before. In re
Spouse to an appeal from Mr.. Wagner
of the brewing company Moline added
pressure to the mains ami the result
was felt at once. BY that time, how
ever, the fire had gained such head
way that it could not be stopped unit
it had burned itself out and the ef
forts of the firemen were turned Il
preventing a spread of the flames tt
adjacent buildings.
Walls Fall With Crash.
The blazing building of the Willet
plant soon began to weaken under tn
weight as the timbers bracing it III
were burned through and wall afte
wall fell to the street below with
crash. Sparks from the ruins wer
carried high into the air and they de
scended on the box cars in the Roc
Island yards opposite the burning
building and number of small fire
were started that had to be put out i
order to save the cars.
BY IL o'clock the firemen had tn
