FIRE IN HERSEY
HOUSE ON COLLEGE
CAMPUS, THURSDAY

The fire department was called out at
about O'Clock Thursday afternoon by an
alarm from Box All for small fire in the
roof of the Hersey house on the college
grounds. The fire was discovered by
some of the college boys who were play
ing ball, it evidently having caught from
spark from an engine. The quick ar
rival of the chemical truck was all that
saved the building, as the flames had
spread from the piazza roof to the main
roof and with very few minutes start
with the high wind that was blowing
would have been a bad one to handle.
Hose was also promptly on the scene
and laid line of hose which assisted in
subduing the flames. The damage was
small, SIS probably covering it. An in
cident of the fire that caused a lot OF
amusement to some of the spectators
was the bursting of a line of hose which
thoroughly wet down a portion of the
crowd. The about was sounded in
about 20 minutes. The college boys who
were on the scene assisted the tiremen
in every way possible and their help had
much to do with the quick handling Of
the flames.
