telegraphic comm unication and the
telephone lines also were down. Ow-
ing to the menacing flames the Van

trains through the city for several
hours. That a large portion of the
city was not destroyed is due TO the
prompt work OF its citizens.
Before any effective work could
be done by the fire department the
city water which is supplied from a
reservoir became exhausted. Men
and boys responded promptly and
formed a great bucket brigade which
is largely responsible for saving ad-
