About o'clock the second story OF
/ the Seneca Hardware Company was
found to be in flames, and it was
thought this building, with several

draft was cut off, and the flames
therefore were fed slowly. A hy-

steady streams were played on the

was injured in moving it out. and
the loss from this and injury to the
