Just before noon today the fire
alarm was sounded on account of a
brisk blaze in pile of crates and 9TH
er trash at the rear of the building
occupied by P. E. Keraus. The fire is
supposed to have gotten started from
a fagot carried by the wind from
bundle of paper being burned at the
rear OF the Trego Mercantile store
The blaze was easily extinguished by
a stream of water from the city fire
hose. This fire again emphasizes the
necessity of caution and the impor-
lance of removing all kindling or
trash piles from the business district.
Last summer fire got started in a
trash pile at the rear of the World
Office and other fires can be expected
if the trash is not cleaned up.
