NARROW ESCAPE FUR
 MESA |CE PLANT

fire occurred at i:45 a. m. yester- day which came near being a costly blaze Fortunately the damage was confined to a small storage room. The fire occurred at the Mesa Dairy and Ice Go. plant, and was caused by combination of a lighted lantern and gasoline.
 An employe of the company was filling the tank of an ice truck with gasoline and placed the lantern on the seat near the opening of the car tank. The vapor caught fire and communi- cated itself to the vessel from which he was pouring the gasoline. He threw it from him and it fell against the side of the warehouse. The alarm was sent in to Fire Chief Bracket, and the hose cart and men were soon on the ground The flames at one time at | tackled the roof of the main building and it was some time before the danger was over. The work done by the fire men with the limited apparatus at hand shows to what extent of efficien- cy the department could be worked up with the equipment needed for a town of this size. Citizens on the streets yesterday were discussing the need for a first class combination chemical and hose auto truck. Expressions of regret were heard that a bond issue for suf- ficient to cover the cost was not voted on at the same time the sewer bonds carried. The value of the plant en- dangered yesterday morning is not less
 than s40,000 and much credit is due the fire company for their splendid work
 The damage amounted to S1200 ol $500.
