M|CHAEL'S FEEDSTORE

Three-Alarm Brings Out Chiefs and
Firemen to New York Ave-
nue. Blaze.

A three-alarm fire claimed the atten-
ton of Acting Chief Sullivan, Battalion
Chiefs keliller and Proctor and several
companies of firemen this morning at the
wholesale feed establishment of Theodore
Michael. % New York avenue northeast
The fire ruined the interior Of the build
ing and burned a hole through the roof,
destroyed large quantities Of feed and
endangered the lives Of seven horses.
1t was shortly before o'clock when
the fire started. The appearance Of the
building suggested that the fire originat-
ed on the second floor of the rear end
Of the long structure, almost directly
over where the horses were kept, and
when Battalion Chief Keliher reached
the burning building he sent in second
alarm.
Acting Chief Sullivan sent in third
alarm as soon as he reached the vicinity
of the burning building. Policemen La
dow and Rector Of the second precinct
and members of No. truck. company
rescued the horses. One of the animals
stepped on Fireman Thomas O'Brien S
foot and inflicted a painful injury.
Loss Estimated at SIS, 600; Insured.
The bright light of the fire attracted a
large crowd of spectators and suggested
to neighbors the making of preparations
to protect their own property in event of
the fire spreading. &
An electric fan and typewriter were
taken from the building, according to
complaint made by the feed dealer. They
we're taken from the Office he stated, and
not returned.
An examination of tho premises failed
to disclose the probable origin Of the fire.
The damage to the building and contents
is estimated at $1,000 and the loss is
covered by insurance.
