EARLY MORNING FIRE
Exciting Blaze Damages the Home
Bakery.

The Home Bakery" of Edward L.
Crete & Company, No. 2l3 High ave,
nue. west, was scorched by fire early
this morning and considerable dam
age from the thick smoke resulted.
The fire was discovered about one
o'clock by Night Waterman Silas
Bennett. A strong Odor of burning
wood was detected and upon investi-
CATION smoke could be seen issuing
from the joints of doors and windows.
Upon going to the rear of the building
great volumes of smoke were found
pouring from every crack. Several
persons had been attracted to the
place by this time. Some OF them
fastened to turn in an alarm while
others sought to ain entrance to the
second story to arouse the inmates.
The apartments on the second floor
are occupied by MI and Mrs. Ed
Crete, who own the bakery, and Mr..
and Mrs. Milton Wood. Mrs. Crete
had been awakened by the smoke be
fore the alarm was given. Mr.. and
Mrs. Wood, who have rooms at the
rear, were almost sGnocated by the
fumes.
The fire was confined to the one
story addition at the extreme north
not get through the roof and it was
difficult to locate the fire. 1t seemed
to have big start in a pile OF egg
cases and dry oven wood that was
stored in the room. The fire may
have been started by rats which have
been botnersome about the store
room. There were no wires in the
place, no fire and no other way IL
which fire could have been communi
Gated to the piles of wood and boxes
The fire had good start when wat
er was thrown and the firemen got
to the seat of the trouble. The fire
department was upon. the scene with.
in a few minutes following the alarm,
but difficulty was encountered in get.
ting the water turned on. The hose
was first attached at the hydrant at
street. This would not open and a
second line was attached at the B
street corner. A third line was laid
from c street.
The smoke, just after the water was
thrown. was so dense and black thai
it rolled from the building in chunks
The fumes were so thick that men
could not work in the alley at the
side of the building. An employe OF
the Oskaloosa Light and Fuel Com
pany who entered the front room to
turn off the gas at the meter, crawl
ing in at the front door on his hands

downstairs is receiving coat of var

as well as the furniture. AS soon as
the weather will permit the outside of
the buildings will be painted and put
in trim. While the casual observer
would see nothing amiss with the lus-

good rooms, and good cheer to the top

Freight Wreck

Fourteen freight cars were derail
ed, seven of which dropped an 80
foot embankment, near the Lyndon
vile electric light station Saturday
morning, tying up the division for five
hours but not injuring single mem
ber of the crew. The accident hap
pened at three o'clock and was caused
by broken rail. The cars were all
loaded, and those that went to the
foot of the embankment were SO bad
ly shattered that they cannot be re-
paired. The track was so badly torn
up it was not until eight O'Clock that
morning that the wreck was PUT in
shape for the passenger trains
which had been held up by the acci-
dent. The wrecked train was an ex-
ira freight, No. 1877, southbound
Robert Taylor was the conductor in
charge and Robert Campbell was the
engineer. OF the seven cars that we t
down the bank two were loaded with
beef, one with boxed meats, one with
lumber, one with pulp wood, one with
rags and one with f1oar. On accouat
of the steepness of the bank it was a
difficult job transferring the contents
of these cars, but quite force of men
were kept at it and the work was fin
ished Monday. That evening bon
fire was made of the wood work Of
these seven cars aNd Tuesday what
remained of the wreck was we'll clean
ed up. The contents of the cars, with
the exception of the -four were not
badly damaged. Many people visited
