partly with roof, the fire made fast
headway and few minutes after it
was discovered by an employe of the
company, had spread over the entire
yard. The wind was blowing from tho
north and dense columns of smoke
were carried in the windows of the
main factory, where 900 girls are en-
ployed. The girls became frightened
and hysterical and not knowing what
to do started to run about the floors
screaming.
1t was said four of the girls tainted
and had to be carried from the build
ing. This, however, was denied by
Hugh A. Bergs, manager of the
branch 81 &c r He said some of the girls
were frightened, but after the alarm
had been turned In there was little
difficulty in getting the girls out OF
the building.
A short time after the fire was dis
covered it was thought the main
building to the south would catch

turned in second alarm, bringing
more companies to the scene. Afte,
