ESCAPING GAS SETS FIRE
TO GAS PLANT BUILDING

The corrugated iron building in
which sets the gas making machinery
at the plant of h Roswell Gas Com
pany. in the northeast part of town
was damaged by fire at seven O'Clock
last night. The packing blew out
around the gas purifier, one of the
machines of b plant. and the escap-
ing gas soon caught afire from the
lamp. and this set fire to the wooden
framework of the building. The fire
company responded quickly and put
ont the flames, but there was hardly
enough wood about the building to
make much of a fire. The machinery
was not damaged and in a short time
was again making gas. The public
service was not affected by the blaze.
The only damage rests in the burning
of some of the ti-nbers of the frame
work of the building.
