Exploding Film Starts Big
Fire.

FOURTEEN BUILDINGS IN HEART OF
PATTERSON, La, DEsTROYED-HERO-
&c WORK SAVES FURTHER SPREAD
OF FLAMES.
Special to The Times Democrat.
Patterson, La, Dec. 9.-After q
desperate fight tonight citizens of
this town. reinforcing the local
fire department, saved the town
from what seemed for several hours
certain destruction by fire. As it
is, fourteen building have been de-
stroyed, causing q loss of $50, 900.
The fire started from an explod.
ing film in the opera house, whore
a moving picture show was in
progress. The house was emptied
without difficulty, and the depart.
ment was soon fighting the flames,
which gained Roadway rapidly,
spreading to IN adjoining bull
ding. tho property of Daigls Broe.
Tho property was vacant, and the
loss represents the value of tho
building alone. The Tribune's
printing plant adjoined the Daigle
property, aud also was destroyed.
At this point the fire, driven by
a light wind that sprang up, was
carried across the street, and soon
the residence and store of Harri-
man Bros, was in flames. Two
store buildings and tho residence
belonging to Mrs. Gooch, two
dwellings and the store Of tho Zet-
ter estate, the residence of W. j.
Ager and that of Mrs. McHugh
likewise fell prey to tho flames
before they could be controlled.
Heroic work kept tho fire from
spreading further, and by mid
night the attention of the fire de-
partmsnt and the volunteers were
devoted entirely to extinguishing
the fire among the embers.
For a time it seemed certain that
the large plant of the Patterson
Ice Manufacturing Company was
doomed, but the arrival of tho
steamer H. w. Brady, which turn.
cd q powerful stream on tho bull
ding, stopped further spread to-
ward tho river.
The Patterson Electric Compa-
ny and the Cumberland Telephone
Company suffered slight losses,
due to the destruction of their
poles and wires in the burned dis.
trict.
The losses were: Opera house,
$4,000; Daigls Bros, $4,000; Tri-
bune, $500; Hartman Bros,
$4,000; properties of Mrs. Gooch,
letter estate, $1,000; w. A. |
