RESIDENCE SECTION
HAS CLOSE CALL

A portion OF the residence section be-
tween State and Oak streets had a close
call from destruction by fire Tuesday,
when the woodshed on the Frank Noble
place caught fire. Had a wind been
blowing, it is doubtful whether the fire
would have stopped short of Sixth St.
The entire absence of wind, however,
aud the untiring energy of the fire de-
partment and citizens who arrived on
the scene, managed to check the flames
after they had consumed two woodsheds
and ruined the residence of George 4.
COe.
The woOdshed on the Noble property,
ia the rear Of the residence occupied by
Paul Hubbard, wrs discovered on fire,
and when the first arrivals reached the
place 1t had good start Lawn hose.in
the neigb0rhood was secured and used
to keep back the flames, while the
crowd that soon gathered after the
alarm was turned in began to remove
the goods from the Hubbard and the
two Coe houses, and everything was
carried out. The Haynes Louse was
empty at the time.
The hydrant at the Stanley-Smith
corner was the nearest, and it YVES over
1000 feet away. The hose of the fire
department would not quite reach, and
another piece was secured, but the
couplings would not fit, and it was tied
on. The pressure in the fire hose was
so light that the water reached but a
little ways beyond the nozzle. The de-
partment and citizens worked with
will, however, using buckets and lawn
hose, and attention was paid to saving
the adjoin ng houses. The Hubbard
woodshed having considerable wood in
it made hot fire and set fire to the
house of q. +. COe, and the house was
ruined before the fire was under con-
troll. The chemical did good service.
A large pear tree standing close to the
VIM. Haynes house no doubt saved it
fsom destruction. As it was one end

difficulty, Tne tree was ruined, as well
as several others in the yard. 1t was

The narrow eCsape from destruction

the danger of the city for lack OF ade-

constant danger of a large coniiagra.

favorable circumstances, or which

the way to reduced fire insurance to
help pay the cost, and would have
the added feeling OF security against
danger which we do not have now.
We have some fire protection, 1t is
