The Lomas & Farnsworth hardwar
store was the scene of lively fire on
day recently and bad blaze prevent
ed only by prompt action. The fee
wire that connects the gasoline tan
| with their lighting apparatus becam
disconnected and when the lamp
were being lighted in the evening be
gan to throw burning gasoline abou
and in an instant the south wall of tn
building was sheet of fire for sewers
| feet each side of the generator an
from floor to ceiling, and kink in tn
| feed wire did not suffice to check tn
flow of gasoline. T. j. Lomas at thi
juncture thought of a Mitchell fir
extinguisher which was hangin
near, tore it from the post where
had hung for about six years $50 long
in fact that its presence there was a
most forgotten-p -pourel it's content
upon the blazing gasoline and extir
| guished it instantly before it could
damage inside from slight scorchin
of the paint. A supply of these e,
tinguishers in business houses an
dwellings would prevent many dis
astrous fire.
