MYSTERY HOUSE
STRANGELY BURNT
Raging Fire Late Yesterday
Afternoon.
DEPARTMENT WAS OUT
Building on Cox & Sons Plant Was
Burned Down Spark Fired i
Vine St. Residence.


glass house, in the yard of the Cox G
Sons Company plant was burned down
yesterday afternoon just before night.
1t was small frame building. in
which was boiler and engine and
the necessary machinery for operating
and trying out new machinery made
for glass works.
Cox & Sons Company are large con-
structors Of glass making machinery;
they also build glass factories and the
machinery when made is tried out be-
fore being shipped away, and this
small glass plant is used for that pur-
pose How the fire originated yester-
day is also claimed to be mystery.
Mr. w. F. Cox was about the works
at the time, but he said the building
was afre and almost half burned down
before he knew of any fire. He said
the building had not been used for
some time and it was very dry and
| filed with fine dry dust, and this is
easily ignited and burns with the rap
idity of kerosene oil. He said he could
give no idea from the information he
had, as to how the fire originated
There were but two men about the
place generally, but at the outbreak
Of the fire Dayton Frederick, the ma
chinist, was the only one at work near
| 1t, and he was in small machine shop
a short distance away.
A boy was reported to have been
| cleaning an automobile in the plant,
| and threw some oiled waste in the
| furnace. This ignited and in an in
| slant all about was in blaze 1t was
said the boy got his hands burned, but
| this could not be verified; in fact it
was denied, and the boy was at work
| this morning unharmed. The top Of
the automobile was burned, but the
machine was not badly damaged, said
Mr.. Cox.
| Mr. Cox would not give any estimate
| Of the loss, he said he would leave
| that for the insurance adjusters to
determine. u
1t was very fierce fire, and might
have been much worse, but fortunate
ly communication of the flames was
| prevented from any other part of the
great plant
While the firemen were at work on
| this burning structure, word came
that the double residence of John
Nieukirk and A. Kienzle, just up Vine
| street, had caught fire from the flying
| sparks carried by the winds from the
burning Mystery. Fastening there
the fire was discovered on the roofs
of the building. This was soon extin-
| guished, but with considerable loss to
the furniture in both parts of the
house from the water. The loss to
the young people, Mr.. and Mrs. Kien-
zle, is total, for their furniture was
uninsured
The fire at the Cox & Sons plant
created much excitement as people
thought the whole plant was likely to
be set on fire.
