that from now on he must engage in an

whom he had served for many years,

Scores were arrested last night and
corralled by the private detectives In

LABORER HAS CLOSE CALL

Fire OF unknown origin, but believed
10 have started from an explosion on
the third floor, practically cleaned out
the Gourstory building of the Detroit
Electro Plating works on Raynor-st.,
across the alley from the county jail,
Saturday morning, starting at 7;l5
o'clock.
Though the fire was extinguished by
splendid work on the part OF the fire
department, within little over half
hour, it is estimated that the brisk
blaze did nearly $4,000 damage.
The Detroit Electro Plating Co. oc-
cupies the ground floor, and the man
ager figured the damage at about
$4,000.
The Heck Printing Co., on the Sec
ond floor, was also heavy loser, the
loss being estimated at about $4,000.
On the third floor, where. Vulcan
Metal Mfg. Co. and the Eagle Cap
Co, are located. the fire is believed
TO have started, and was at it's ,orst
when the department arrived, ana got
the blaze under control in record
time.
Estimates of their loss could not be
obtained, but II is thought to be
heavy
Charles Bovenseip, Sr., father OF the
manager OF Detroit Mausoleum Equip
ment Co., on the fourth floor, had a
narrow escape from death when a
wooden stairway, down which he and
other employees were making their
way, fleeing from the fire., gave way,
and he was thrown down and partly
stunned other workmen picked him
up, and carried him with them TO
safety.
The big four-story brick building
was badly damaged by the flames, but
the outer walls stood intact when the
fire was extinguished.
IL was feared for a time that the
blaze might leap across the alley TO
the county jail, which is well filed
with prisoners, but SO quick was the
work of the fire department that the
blaze looked dangerous only for few
minutes.
The exhaust from the building
known as the Jacobs Power Co. plant
is used 20 furnish neat 90 ~both the
county jail and the municipal courts
building, and occupants OF those
buildings are glad that the fire did
not occur in midwinter.
Police Commissioner Croul was at
the fire in person, and Lieut.. Tom
O'Grady took charge or the policing
of the big crowd which watched the
blaze.
