The Blaze Started On Second
Floor Of Structure
And Firenen Could Not Get
At The Flames

A fire of a disastrous character and
one which nearly cost the life of City
Fireman DOT" Hyde, occurred at
1o:45 Friday morning in the q. e.
Salisbury building at 2os West High
street.
The apartments of Joseph .ThraiIkill
on the second floor were gutted by
sames and the building further to the
rear was badly damaged.
The greater part of the loss, both to
the building and to the household
goods and stock, is covered by insur-
ance.
Fireman Hyde was one of the first
TO reach the smoke filled apartments
and, in an effort to get the seat of the
FIRE located and to ascertain how to
fight it to the best advantage, re-
nained inside too long. He was over
come by smoke and was carried down
stairs and to the Friei grocery by res
cuers. Physicians worked over him for
nearly one half hour before his condi-
ton began to improve. This was only
after great quantity Of smoke had
been exhaled from his lungs. His
condition for time was critical and
it was feared that efforts to revive
him would be In vain. After he had
begun to recover somewhat, he was
removed to his home.
The fire started in the kitchen at
the Thrailkill apartments. Unauthen-
tic reports are to the effect that Mr..
ThTailkill lighted hot-plate and that
the match, still burning, was thrown
into waste paper box in the corner
of the room. The papers caught fire
Immediately and the old gentleman
was unable to subdue the blaze. It
spread rapidly and had a good hold
upon the woodwork of the room be-
fore the alarm was sent in. The fire
spread all over the apartment and was
burning fiercely when the firemen ar
rived upon the scene.
The fire hose was quickly connected
and the firemen entered the building.
Fireman Hyde was one of the first
and braved the smoke and flame In a
manner that was little short Of heroic.
Volunteer firemen we're easily secured
and good force was soon at work to
6ght the blaze.
Three strings of hose were laid and
the chemical tanks were brought into
use. The latter were ineffective on
account of the proportions of the fire
bat the water soon began to tell. Two
strings of hose were taken through
windows and another was thrust
through hole which, was chopped
through the front of the building. 1t
was difficult fire to fight on account
of the arrangement of the burning
structure. The surrounding buildings
were threatened by the fire several
times, but they were damaged only
slightly. p"
The feature which made the fire
hard to get at was that it spread
toward the back of the building which
was used by Mr.. Salisbury as a store
room for hay and implements. The
flames burned through the walls and
secured hold between the inside
walls and the outer fire proof sheet
ing. It was with the greatest difficult
ty that the firemen were able to cope
with this situation. So great was the
amount of water that was necessarily
used that that nearly as much damage
was done by it as by the fire. It IL
