mile and a half of the scene by a
messenger from Garys chief, notify

not without fire protection Captain
Glen Sweitzer was left in charge and

men, rugged up the exercise wagon,
filling it wit hhose and the old team
which formerly hauled the engine but
is now used by the street department,
was kept In readiness to answer an
emergency call. Word was also re-

that that If q fire broke out in East
Chicago Hammond would send its
equipment from the nearest fire sta

make it necessary to accept Ham
mond's offer, or to even call out what
resources were at hand through Cap

the front doors of both store rooms

back. Norman reached the building
a short time afterwards and succeeded
in saving a small portion of jewlery
and watches in the front part OF the
store. The origion of the fire is a
mystery and a strict investigation will
follow. 1T is said Nierman's stock was
