BROADWAY RESIDENCE
 AFfRE IN ATTIC
Bremen Held Blaze to Small Aree al
 Home of C. D. White


 Fire. probably originating from crossed wires in an attic closet. broke out in the residence of c. D. White. at No. PAS Broadway, Saturday morn ing, about 11.45 o'clock. but prompt work on the part of Chief H. l.. stan ton and his men confined the flames to a small area and they were extin- guished with several streams of chem ical after fight of nearly an hour.
 The fire was discovered by Miss Mary White, who saw smoke enter ing her room on the third floor. and a telephone message was immediate ly sent into headquarters at the Gen. tral station. The iremen made q quick run and when Chief Stanton saw the headway the fire had he sent Walter Huntley to pull in box 51, Ce- dar and Broad streets, calling out ad- iitional help
 Hose was laid but was not needed as several streams of chemical soon got the better of the flames. It wus necessary to cut several holes in the roof so that the chemical could be used to advantage. The damage was wholly conflned to1 the attic, where large timbers were burned through. Chief Stanton's investigation showed the house to be properly wires, but It was found that there were crossed wires on Cedar street. which may have been the direct cause of the ire.
 MT. White was so pleased with the fine work of the department that be- fore the firemen left the premises he had presented Chief Stanton a check for S1oo to be added to the firemen's fund
