persons in the vicinity OF the wharf.
Few, We suppose. realized that the
flames were eating up pianos formerly
worth 100000, but with the ravages OF
the flood Of last March Il was deemed
necessary 10 have this blaze. Pianos
caused the flames and not a single
fireman was there 10 fight them. Per.
sons standing rear he wharf could
not understand the significance OF the
fire. but any employe Of the c. A.
House Music company will make ah-
davits, II necessary. that the fire was
caused by pianos.
The wharf had been chosen as a
matter OF safety and the fire was well
guarded TO keep Il from spreading.
These pianos had been collected in
after the food, when the company ex-
changed new ones for those damaged
IN the Hood, while others were re-
paired. One hundred pianos. repre-
senting a cost OF $500 each were CON
signed TO the flames having been
hauled 10 the wharf and dumped IN
tremendously into the fire. This con
signment represented Steilways. Kra-
kauers. Chickering's. Keehler. Camp
