AT OWENS PLANT.
Cigarette Smoking Girl
May Have Been Respon-
sible for Blaze.

Six hundred men, employees of the
Owens Bottle Machine company plant,
are idle today as a result of the fire
which last night caused damage OF
$4,000, and which destroyed practi.
cally all the material and stock in the
storage department OF the plant.
The fire, which SO far as can be
learned, was started by the careless
handling Of matches or possibly a
clandestine cigarette smoker, was dis
covered about 1880 last evening and it
was not until this morning that 1t was
believed safe to shut OF the streams OF
water that had been kept playing from
hose all night.
The damage from fire, according to
the estimate Of Superintendent W. S.
Cole will not exceed $500, but the
damage from water will amount TO
nearly $4,000. This high water dam
age was the result of the water soften
ing the paper cartons containing bot
ties, which were stacked to the cell
ing, causing them to soften and crash
down. For several hundred feet the
stock room Is a mess of water soaked
paper cartons, smashed glass and
pools OF dirty water.
The fire originated in a frame struc-
ture, built inside the main and fire
proof building, in which had been fit
ted up rest room and lunch room for
women employees. Fifteen minutes be-
fore the fire was discovered break.

The fire started directly under the
main cables that bring power and
light into the plant and in a few min
uts after the flames were discovered,
these cables were out OF commission
and the plant in darkness.
On the arrival OF the shift that goes
on at II p. NJ. about fifty men were
picked to help fight tn fire and stand

Such a racket as never before was
heard on Main street will start at two.
thirty Sunday afternoon when the tank
which is coming here in the interest OF
the Victory bond campaign will start
Bobby Hooding up and down the thor.
oughfare.
From the farthest corners Of the
county the word is coming that the ma.
tives will be present. The chance to
see an honest injun tank, one of the
kind that poured machine gun bullets
into the Huns and led American boys
into all kinds of hot places. and vic.
toriously out of them, is not going to
be overlooked.
Unless there is two feet Of snow
on the ground the day will be com.
bination circus day, election night and
armistice signing.
Max Wilson and Dutch Watkins, two
local boys who jockeyed tanks in
France, will be asked to give an exhi.
bition of their rough riding abilities.
The regular crew that comes with
the tank consists OF two service men,
members of the Tank Corps, and q
Victory bond speaker.
There will also be speakers on every
corner who will try to make their
voices heard above the 'put put" Of
the tank.
Whether or not the tank will be
camouflaged is not yet known, but It
is hoped that no camouflage will be
employed, for otherwise many persons
might be disappointed in not seeing
the caterpillar Devil Dog"
While the tank is the big feature Of
the week in the Victory bond drive,
there are lots Of other things being
done. Tonight in the Third ward
school house, Congressman NJ. NJ.
Nicely will address the citizens OF the
ward and Lamar Satterfleid will sing.
A meeting will also be held at Mon,
tana tonight, at which r. A. Pollock
will be the principal speaker.
A good meeting was held last night
at Jamtson Number s, under the aus
pices of the United Mine Workers. Be-
sides members Of the organization,
many outsiders were present at the
meeting.
Other meetings were held last night
at several points in the county, but
this afternoon the results had not
been reported to headquarters.
Meetings scheduled for next Sunday
afternoon in Winfield district, have
been called off so that everyone may
have an opportunity to come to town
and see the tank.
