crib coal house. Coal for winter use
was put In and some was left. The
roof was Of common boards, which the
sun warped and the wind tore loose
and the coal was kept wet until In
time it took fire and burned up the
house and coal.
Early in the history of the Marshall
Oil Company they stored some soft
coal in the cellar Of their main build :
ing 1t took fire. They shoveled 1t
back and extinguished the fire. 1t did
not stay extinguished but burned the
building containing 1t.
Many years ago the Let's Fletcher
Company had wholesale grocery
store on the opposite corner of Main
street and South Second avenue. Their
coal and heater were under the side
walk. Summer came and some soft
coal was still there. 1t took fire and
burned the groceries and all but the
walls Of the building.
Last season the mana gers at the SOL
diers' home stored In an underground
vault a large quantity Of soft coal and
made a pile outside. 1t naturally took
fire and cost some labor to save part
OF it..
When I was a boy was surprised
to see blacksmith put some coal on
his fire and then put on some water.
He said it made the fre hotter when
the coal got to burning. Later, when
in a chemical class in school, the pro-
fessor surprised us by starting a fame
by pouring some water on some sui
phuric acid. That explains the secret
of all these fires I have mentioned.
