ing because the safe which they jimmled
open contained only few pieces OF

The blaze destroyed the stock ana

bred persons live In the building They
were awakened by smoke and escaped
by way OF the snowcovered housctops.
Another fire was discovered at 7o'

to send n second alarm Twenty families
were driven to the street in night clothes
Alfred Leigh. a fireman. one Of the
first to arrive, dashed into the smoking
hallway of the Columbus avenue blaze
and helped to carry children to safety.
After making several trips to the roof
he was overcome. but managed to reach

lapsed and fell to the rear yard He
was hurt internally.
None Of the hundred or more people
who were driven out by the fires re-
ceived injuries sufficient TO need medical
treatment. They were taken care OF in
nearby apartments.
Detectives Quinn and Donnelly OF the
West Tooth street station found tho
safe blown open In the department store
after the fire was under control. They
thought at first that big haul had been
made by the thieves.
The detectives were much relieved
when the owner OF the store arrived and
announced that the safe contained no
money. II was found that the safe
crackers had forced a rear window.
The safe was rolled 10 the back OF the
store. The door was hanging from the
upper hinge and little was left Of II
