FIRE SET
TO STRING
OF CARS

A. Ball. the general car foreman of
the Monon's South Hammond yards.
was the hero of the South Hammond
employees last evening for the way he
directed the men under him to fight a
fire which threatened to do thousands
of dollars worth of damage.
A passing engine, it is thought. set
fire to a string of cattle cars, and with
favorable wind the fire had good
start to do serious damage. The fire
burned all the more readily on the cat
tlecars, because of the good draft that
the opening afforded. Ball sized up the
situation at once and summoned all
the workers in the yards possible and
directed their efforts to stop the fire.
The results were that only one car was
destroyed and another partially dam
aged.
