have been digging for several days In
Sheldon street i'm search of the leak In
the main carrying the steam from the
Dee building heating plant to other
buildings along the street were re-
warded late Saturday afternoon when
they found the seat of the trouble.
A section of the main, which Is six
inches i'm diameter. was found to be
rusted through for nearly three feet of
its length.
This break permitted the steam to
escape and melt the snow for a dis
lance of fifty feet along Sheldon street
near Huron, just east OF which street
the break was found. 1t was very diff
ficult to locate the trouble because
where it really was broken was not the
place where most of the snow had
melted from the street. AS soon as
the break was located another section
of pipe was brought and put in the
place OF lHe ucltCllNt StCliOi, "hiNb

This necessitated the shutting off of
the steam from the other buildings
supplied from the Dee plant and sew

for the reception of the steam, the

HOUCHTON VILLAGE HALL
Is IMPERILED BY FLAMES
Overheated Flue Causes Fire Sat
urday Night; Firemen Prevent
Serious Blaze.
The BUILDING IS A LANDMARK

Just as the village clock had finished
striking the hour of seven Saturday
night. the bell sounded fire alarm
calling the flremen TO do their duty.
when they arrived at the hall they
were surprised to find that the fire was
in their own headquarters. Driver

hall while the other members of the
department were AT their various
homes eating their evening meals. dis
covered the fire. lie was in the large
room on the main door where the fire
department has its apparatus and back
OF which are the stalls for the horses
when he smelled smoke and upon In
vestigation. found that il issued from
the floor near the center of the parti-
ton which separates the front room OF
the building from the stalls Of the
horses.
Horses Are Rescued.
After sounding the alarm Driver Bel
fry. with the aid Of Driver Tim" Hol-
land. who was soon upon the scene.
led the four horses from their stalls.
out Of the back door Of the station and
10 safety. The men then returned TO
the building, which by this time was
filed with a dense. black smoke and
began 10 seek the source of the blaze.
BY this time Chief Louis Voetsch had
arrived at the scene Of the conlagra-
ton and assumed charge of the oper-
ations OF the men. ii having been dis
covered that the rafters above the
heater recently installed We're ablaze.
Blaze Soon Under Control.
The department soon had a stream
cf water playing on the blaze. although
the smoke in the basement made il
exceedingly difficult for the men to
work A lead OF hose was taken into
the building by the front door ready
for use should it be needed and a large
hole was chopped in the floor to permit
the reaching Of the fire from above.
Chief Voetsch had the horses brought
in and dragged the fire apparatus into
the street for fear that the fire would
get beyond control and consume that
with the rest Of the contents of the
building It was soon seen, however,
that the men in the basement were do
ing effective service and had gotten
the blaze under their control.
Heater Blamed for Fire.
In about half an hour after the
blaze was first discovered the fire was
declared to be out. 1t is the opinion OF
many Of the men at the station that
the new heater. which was put in last
summer, was responsible for the fire.
Leading from the heater TO the CHM
ney is a short sheet-iron fiue. which
is close TO the floor above. II is thought
that an accumulation Of SCOT I'm this
fue took fire and heated il rcd ho.
thereby causing the rafters above TO
take fire.
The timely discovery Of the blaze
and the good work OF the flremen are
all that saved the building, which f.
one Of the Oldest I'm Houghton, from
being completely destroyed and with II
the contents. including many official
documents which are stored in the
rooms on the upper floor OF the build
ing which is occupied by the village
offices. The loss occasioned by the
connagration will not exceed 500 and
is covered By insurance.
