alta Boy" performers reached

fire that destroyed large two-story
frame building that was used as Of

Shortly after 1890 o'clock the fire
was discovered and alarm sounded.
A shot fired by the guard gave notice
to the camp that something unusual
had happened.
The camp fire brigade made quick
response and did what it could to hold
the fire in check until arrival of city

the building in which the fire started.
The soldier fire company did excellent
work, according to Chief Wagner's
men.
Capt. William F. Lanahan of No. 4

suggesting the possibility of the fire
reaching other buildings. The fire had

was no further danger of the fire
spreading. The soldiers returned to
quarters.
It was impossible to determine the
origin Of the fire. Firemen thought
an overheated stovepipe probably
caused it. There was small stove
in the east end Of the structure, and,
it was stated, there was a fire in it
when the building was closed for the
night. Damage to the building and
contents probably will amount to more
than $4,000.
