were lost. The section hands were
repairing the track, and, while some
say the regular caution signal was
shown, others. including Fireman Par

the heavy train spreading the rails.

When 1t became cetraln that water
was of little avail In combating
the fast spreading FIRE. Mayor Mullen
ordered the nremen To use dynamite.
Several blocks in the direct pathway
were blown up. and this gave the

determined stand which finally saw
