FIRES MONDAY
AND TUESDAY

The East Side Fire Department
was called out at 6:45 Monday morn
ing ON account of a fire between the
partitions of the Grand Rapids Brew
cry. A portion of the space direct
ly under the roof was also found to-
he burning so that it was found ne
cessary to cut a hole i'm the roof to
gain access to- the burning parts. The
origin of the conflagration is un-
known, however some are of the
opinion that a heating pipe or elect
rio light wire might have been the
cause. The loss is estimated at be-
tween one hundred fifty and two hun
dred dollars.
Between seven-thirty and eight
O'Clock Tuesday evening the West
Side Fire Department responded to a
call of fire from the fifth ward. A
burning chimney at Kubisiak house
ON Tenth Avenue was, the cause of
the alarm, but mo damage was done
to the building.
