QUICK WORK OF FIRE
DEPT. PREVENTS BAD
FIRE IN PEAVY BLOCK

A spark from the chimney of the
Williams house, which was burning
cut, ignited the wooden covering on
the roof of the Peavey block Thurs
day afternoon and caused an alarm
of fire from box % at 3.15 O'Clock. The
high wind which prevailed famed the
fire and a brisk blaze was in progress
when the fire department arrived. BY
quick work on the part of the firemen
bad fire was prevented. 4 line Of
hose was carried up through the Will
liams house. and out on to the roof
of the Peavy block, where effective
work was done. This roof is one Of
the two on Main street. which was
constructed with a wooden covering
over the tin. This is considered n fire
menace, by the fireman and is not al
lowed by the present building code of
the city.
The fremen We're obliged to cut
away about a quarter Of the wooden
roof and then some of the tin roof,
which had become so hot that the
wood under 1t had become ignited.
! The damage while perhaps not so bad
Of itself, Will cause quite a large eX-
penditure, as a whole new roof will
| be necessitated. Temporary repairs
with tarred paper We're made after
the fire was extinguished. The all
out signal was sounded at 40 o'clock
