zens to the scene OF danger, which
was discovered to be in the w. Il.
Graham furniture store in the center
of the Savings and Trust Company
business block. The chemical engine
was brought into requisition and the
flames were promptly suppressed, and
and what, had the fire occurred q
little later In the night and had gone
undiscovered for a short time, would
have proven another very disastrous
blow to our business interests. was
nipped in the bud.
The fire was discovered by Harry
Wallis, who was taking a late din
ner at the Limit Cafe, Immediately
across the street from the furniture
store, and the alarm was at once
turned in to both the public and fire
department by means of the electric
alarm and Harry's melodious voice,
and there was prompt response to
the call. The front door was forced
by Night Police Smith, and the fire
was located at the back of the room
ON the balcony used by Mr.. Graham
as an office. 1t had caught in one
of the desk drawers, presumably from
a box OF matches contained therein,
and after burning through the end OF
the desk had caught In mattress, and
had started off in a merry way to wip
out the block. The Grahams live
above the store room, and at the alarm
Of fire Mrs. Graham tainted away.
and Mr.. Graham, who had been on
the sick list for several days, had his
hands full caring for her, and did not
get down until the fire was suppress

The Corporation Commission calls
attention to the fact that the Tele-

the railway companies placed their
