What might have resulted In a
disastrous fire was discovered by an
early rising Gate City reporter yes
terday morning at six o'clock. In
passing the large board fence at the
ball park, smoke was noticed curling
up from the inside Of the shut out
and flames licking around one Of the
upright posts in the bleachers. A
street car motorman climbed over the
/ fence while the newspaper man ran
for a bucket of water at nearby just
| opened-for-the-day refreshment stand.
Had the fire continued for another five
minutes, the entire bleachers and 9th
er surrounding timber might have
/ caught and extensive damage resulted.
"A citizen who always takes a live
interest in Keokuk suggests that the
way to raise money for public cele-
hrations is for about one thousand
4 citizens to contribute S. each which
would make fund of $4,000, ample to
take care of all public entertain.
ments. This would save few people
contributing SO heavily to all cele
brations. The idea Is a good one
This method would make but one col
/ lection necessary. 1t would also be
a great relief to the business men and
it would also be the proper thing to
have a wider contribution. 1t isn't
fair to ask the business mes to stand
the expense for all public entertain
ments.
