FLAMES MAKE FIRE
DIFFICULT 70 FIGHT
Department Engaged for Two Hours
~-' at Blaze That Does Damage
Amounting to Only
$500

Fire, supposedly caused by sponta-
neous combustion in the annex of the
Western Wholesale Drug company, in
the rear of 244 South Main street, kept
the fire department busy for over two
hours last night. The fire was finally
extinguished at loss estimated at $780,
The firemen had difficulty in fighting
the flames, owing to the fact that the
warehouse was filed with carbOys of
ammonia, sulphuric and nitric acid. and
the fumes of the acid permeated the
air so that the fire had to be fought
from a distance. A number of casks
of denatured alcohol were in the build
ing, and as the flames reached them
they exploded with reports that could
be heard blocks away.
The fire was discovered by employees
in the kitchen of the Eureka cafe, and
at the alarm the habitues of the cafe
made a hasty exit.
Several firemen who had inhaled the
deadly fumes were treated at drug
stores before the fire was extinguished.
