This was the fiercest fire we have
witnessed in Keokuk and your sue
cess in combining 1t to the garage
showed marked efficiency and we are
delighted that our building ESCAPED
with the slight damage we suffered.
and this condition is largely due to the

When the fire was at fits height 1t
was feared that il would be impossible
to combine it to the garag building.
The heat from the flames was SO great
as to break nearly all the windows in
the Huiskamp factory opposite. the
garage building and i. was greatly
feared the fire would spread to it.
Owners of all buildings in the block
feared at first that their buildings
would go and Preparations were made
to fight the fire there II necessary.
The Swiss cleaning establishment in
the library building removed their
gasoline tank to a place of safety.
Members of the library board together
with the librarians prepared to
use fire extinguishers Il the flames
should spread to that building.
The water pressure during the en-
tire time OF the fire was excellent. a
fact which greatly helped the depart
ment. Lines of hose were attached
from fire hydrants at Third and Main,

kamp factory.
At the request Of Chief Anderson,
the electric light ard power wires on
| the south SIDE were cut OF in order
that the men might work with safety.
It was feared the live wires might be
dropped to the ground where either
the iremen or spectators could be
injured. When the light was cut OF
here the south side was placed in
darkness for a period OF a little ovel
an hour.
The fire department was called out
to the fire at 5 o'clock and remained
there until 1870. A second alarm
was sent in at 1905 when the flames
broke out again. Again at 4:10 the
! department was called out when some
rubbish piles caught fire. At 8:Ot
o'clock yesterday morning the front
wall. bulged by heat and water, fell
at the third story.@The firemen then
! pulled down the rest of the wall with
ropes. The rear wall, all that was
left of the garage building, is still
standing.
Water Power Men Help.
With the explosion, the men in the
accounting and purchasing DEPART
ments OF the Mississippi River Power
, company. who were on the first fool
OF the Rand building, ran across the
street and down the alley to the gar
age of the power company in the real
OF the burning building.
The power company's Packard cars
were run out into the alley and to I

simultaneous with It's report, great
flames blew out rel the sidewalk
from the entire front of the ground
floor Of the building. It was like a 81
gantic blowpipe into the street, or as
though the fash OF a huge cannon had
remained there at the muzzle of the
gun.
Blowpipe Big NJ . Building.
In ten seconds similar flames were
roaring out of the entire front OF the
building, from the front windows of all
three floors and the flames were
forced by that enormous blowpipe out
n the middle Of the street and up
at an angle Of about forty degrees tow
ard he cornice and root Of the Huis-
kamp factory. The heat was intense,
a.a 3eople AS far away as Third
street felt as though they we're stand
Ing In front of a big fireplace.
Another phase Of the picturesque
features came ten or fifteen minutes
later when the hremen were putting
enough water In through the front
windows to dampen the burning gaso-
line and old, dry wood.
A great volume of smoke poured
and upward over the Huiskamp
factory cornice and roof that seemed
not SO much smoke as solid coal dust
making a big pile up which one might
walk into the sky. In the interior of
this huge mass OF solid blackness
there were constant flashes OF flames
as big as a stable. masses Of gas which

large Audience n Dramatic Scene.
It was en- entertaining fire. Rather
late IN the hour during which II was
staged for q large audience standing In
the street, the cornice began to break
up. Pieces a dozen feet long would fall
occasionally, as one OF these pieces of
cornice started to fall, a fireman at a
nozzle deity placed his stream of
water under the falling mass and gent
ly eased it TO the sidewalk below.
For the protection OF the fremen,
the current was cut or the wires rum
ming in the alley behind the burning
buildings and this left a part of the
city without light until Il was safe~to
restore service. Most of the restaur-
ants and cigar stores needed light Just
at meal time. In the restaurants
around Third and Main streets, a
candle like your grandmother used TO
snuff, stood on each table, and some
rushed out and bought small glass
coal oil lamps-these at last were the
swell restaurants.
Building Owned BY w. l.. Henkie.
1t is impossible 3 get at this time
an accurate estimate Of the loss to all
property owners in this Ere. The value
OF the garage building, owned by w
L. Henkle, Of DonneIlson, is estimated
at between $4,000 and $4,000. 1t was
until recently the property Of Sey-
mour Stricken, Of this city. The insur-
ance on the building fs said to amount
to about $4,000, held by a number of
various companies.
Mr.. Van Ausdall estimates his total
loss at about $4,000. There were nine
cars. belonging Jointly to himself and
&c. r. Pitt, Of Navoo, the value OF
which is estimated at about $1,000.

the explosion occurred and he made
three trips back and forth, getting out
automobiles and property.
Department Made Quick Run.
A man less than a block away timed
the original explosion and read his
watch again when the first hose reel
arrived. He says that 1t was just two
and a half minutes from the explosion
the arrival OF the first hose reel, string
ing hose down Johnson street to the
fire.
Pitt, part owner, was in Moline, and
arrived at midnight after the fire. BY
a combination Of circumstances which
peaved him at the time, he had left
his car at his home before leaving
town. Now he is thankful he did.

efficient services, boxes Of cigars were
i presented to the members OF the fire
department by w. B. Daniel, Henry
Sanders. Huiskamp Brothers company,
Irwin-Phillips Co., and ]. F. Daugherty
& Co.
The heavy brick fire walls on each
! side of the garage building were very
enectual In preventing the fire from
spreading to these other buildings
more than it did. Despite these walls,
the are broke out at one time on the
third floor Of the Stricken building
and would probably have been COM
imunicated to the Daugherty building
but for the work OF the fire depart
ment. As 1t was. the contents OF both
buildings were considerably damaged
by the water, while some damage was
incurred by the fire in the Strickler
building.
City 20 Take Action7
Following the fire. there was quite
a bit Of talk among business men
who had been present, about endeavor-
ing to get the city council to pass an
ordinance prohibiting the placing OF
an automobile garage in the center Of
a business block. II was pointed out
that the fire In the Gate City garage
recently, and this fire had greatly en-
dangered the surrounding buildings
and had even damaged them to a con-
siderable extent. It was claimed by
some men present at the fire that a
garage building always burns sooner
or later" They claim that garage
fires are always disastrous on account
