DOES
 DAMAGE

Spontaneous combustion caused fire in the BroSiuS & Noon machine shops last night which caused a loss estimated at between $3 900 and Sd 900 with an insurance of $2,700. The building is badly damaged, the ma chincry can be rebuilt and several plancrS will perhaps be in operation within the next three or four days; much of the betting was damaged and the bachelor apartments on the second floor occupied by Cal BroSiuS and Hugh Dougherty are practically wrecked or so drenched with water and smoked up that the part of the structure must also be rebuilt.
 Cal BrosiuS last night, after sur vcying the damage by flashliGht ard stating that the firm was lucky" said: "JuSt say in the Gateway tha' Mr. Noon and myself thank every body who helped and they came fror' all directions by the score, and that we are mighty proud of the work O the fire fighters. whether they belon" to the Volunteer department or were nv volunteers"
 Smoke pouring from tho bui'dinc was first noticed by Mayor Hobcr shortly before o'clock and he i'm mediately sent in the alarm to tho telephone company It was some min utcS before central could raise thr fire station. Carl Amy, one Of th' election judges answered the phon" and then rang the fire bell. Fiem,n and others ran from all directions 70 the fire station and the apparatus was quickly on the way to the seem Mayor Hobrn, at the corner of Wash. ington and Broadway directed wher four limos of hose should be attachei from different hydrantS and water was soon playing upon the flames. The fire burned out the lead electric light wires and the building was plunged into darkness when the De- partmrnt reached the building whicf caused much confusion for it VIZ dark as blazcS on the street ana around tho structure.
 Water was thrown from the front of the building, the side and two line. from the rear. Cross streams caught one crew of nozzlemen and they were drenched, but stuck to their post.
 About fifteen minutes after the lines were stretched the new water service of the Seward Light and Pow cr Company was turned into the re gular city mains and this extra vol ume and pressure soon brought thC flames under control and finally out
 Several firemen were bruised abou' the body by minor accidents and near ly all were drenched.
 Cal Brosius, upon arriving at th' scene went through the stock room and opened rear door into the shop Smoke poured upon him in dense way es. He shut the door then stretched out upon the floor to get fresh nc having been nearly suffocated.
 Both Mir. BrosiuS and Mir. Noon give spontaneous combustion as tn, cause. MT. BroSius left the shops about 5:l5 o'clock and after the fire was out, looked into the stove in q rear corner of the shops and the fire was nearly out, just about as it wac left.
 During yesterday afternoon much "steaming" was done it is believed that this caused the dust around the stove and over it to become ignited by combustion. The flames shot up the rear of the shop room burned through the ceiling around the dry ceiling and patterns on the rafters above the ma -N
