The whistle kept up it's blasts for several minutes and the tovnspeople thought a bad con- f1agration had started. Others thought that the fireworks on some of the stands in the center of the town had been set on fire and the people started a rush to the center. The firemen re- sponded promptly and nearly all of them were on hand for fighting the fire.
