4 SLIGHT BLAZE

Sunday afternoon there was fire

fuss, no frills, no alarm. and the local
fire department made no run to the
rescue, and could not have gotten
there in time to save any property.
anyhow. The structure that went up
in smoke was a small frame shack,
along side of the track, between the
round house and the oil tanks. 1t
was used for repair extras and heavy
tools. Although several section men
were working in the vicinity none OF
them seemed to know just how the
fire started There was some oily
waste in the shack and when the fire
was first noticed the building was a
mass of flames. The damage was
nominal, as the building was worth
hardly more than $25, and the heat
was not sufficiently great to injure the
castings and tools.
