Sparks from a passing engine at 2
o'clock this afternoon set to burning
two empty box cars in the Union Pa
cific and NJ. & o. railroad yards. The
fire was discovered by employees in the
yards and Henry Drebert, who was in
the office at the time, turned in the
alarm for the fire department and then
led bucket brigade and the flames
were put out within a short time. Mr..
Dreberts quick action probably saved
the destruction Of many hay cars
| which were standing near the burning
cars. The heavy wind famed the
blaze which was gaining rapidly. Mr..
Drebert saw that the blaze could be
put out with few buckets Of water,
but that if the fire was allowed to
progress, by waiting for the tiremen
much damage would result Running
along the top Of the cars with Walter
Landers, son Of Station Agent Ian
ders, Mr.. Drebert succeeded in throw
ing a few buckets Of water, which
checked temporarily the progress OF
the fire in one car. Firemen soon ap'
peared and short work was made OF
the blaze. A few telephone poles ly.
ing short distance north Of the rail
road yards also caught fire from the
flying sparks.
