BIG COAL DOCK BURNS
FIRE AT SHEBOYGAN, WIS, CAUSES
100000 DAMAGE.
Flames Threaten Adjoining Buildings,
Forty Cars Destroyed.

SHEBOYAN, Wis, March p Spe-
cial. Fire destroyed the c. Reiss Coal
company's dock No. / and forty North
Western road cars loaded with coal
Tuesday night. John p Reiss estimates,
the loss at 100000, fully covered by In
surance.
The flames for n time threatened ad-
joining docks and nearby factories, but
the local fire department, with aid from
ManitowOc and the effective work of the
ire tug, was able to confine the fire to
the dock III which it was discovered
When first noticed by a Waterman,
the ire was confined to "a space no larger
than five feet square. In four minutes
the entire building was burning, and be-
fore the arrival of the fire apparatus the
yards also We're ablaze
Only SIX lines of hose were available
from the engines and because this hose
was laid across the North-W estern
tracks, locomotives were unable to pull
the forty loaded freight cars from the
switches on when they We're standing.
These cars We're burned, together with
their contents.
The origin of the fire is unknown. At
midnight the fire was under control but
the huge piles of coal are still burning
tiercely and probably will for several
days.
Sheboygan is the headquarters of the
KelsS company, which has branches in
ManitoW0c, Green Bay, Ashland and Su-
perlof. The ShebOygan plant is the di-
rect coal feeder for factories along the
Northwestern railroad. 1t is not thought
however, that any serious shortage of
coal VIII result from Tuesday nights
tre' as there is plenty of coal In the
other docks here.
