The grain consumed today was intenae

Supt. Tommlins, In charge Of the els-

Fire Marshal Brophy, who. after a pre-

Each said the cause he assigned would
account for the blowing out Of q portion
Of the wall where the fire originated.
When the difficulty Of combating the
flames became apparent every fireboat ID
