The fire which destroyed the rear
half of the Lucas block and the Rey-
no1ds stable building on Friday morn
ing was the worst the city has had
since the Shannon building was de-
stroyed February 8. 1909. That the
fire of Friday morning was not of
larger proportion is due to the efficient
work of the fremen under Chief Stan
ton and to the non prevalence of wind.
To copfine the fire to the half of the
foEr-story building in which it started
and had ssuch a terrific start and not
have it spread beyond the Reynolds
stable and a carriage shed of the Am

building across that street S. Krorlig
