FIRE is AVERTED
BY QUICK ACTION
overheated Stove Ignites Wood
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Tele-
phone Proprietor.

A fire was narrowly averted in the
Wheelan undertaking parlors, 1921
Second avenue, last evening, shortly
after Z o'clock, when a stove became
overheated and ignited the surround
ing woodwork. Pedestrians noticing
the front room to be full of smoke
made frantic endeavors TO break into
the place and finding these attempts
unsuccessful, rushed to a telephone
and notified the proprietor of the blaze
which had started. Mr. Wheelan made
the trip from his home to the under
taking establishment in record time
and the danger was soon averted.
The blaze started from an overhead
ed stove, Which had been piled full
Of coal with the draft on. The estab-
lishment was then closed up. The
range soon became red hot and wood
work and partitions began to smoke
from the terrific heat. There was a
delay OF several minutes before Mr..
Wheelan could be reached on the
phone and a large crowd congregated
in front Of the place, expecting every
minute to see the blaze break out and
send the building up in smoke. The
damage was nominal.

the double tracking of the thorough,
fare with a view to having it ready
