Dl(WIN CHICKEN FARM NAS
DISASTROUS FIRE, SATURDAY

About eight o'clock Saturday a. m.
word reached town that the place of
). M. Erwin, on the Ralston road. n
bout two miles northwest of town.
was on fire and Immediately a host of
men climbed in automobiles and the
members of tho Arvada fire depart-
ment hitched the chemical cart on be
hind the new flivve1 of the Arvada
Electric Company and all that could
climb on, including Assistant Chief
Kay Platner, went to the scene post
haste. However in the meantime. a
big group of neighbors and passersby
had gathered, and all lent willing
hands by forming bucket brigade,
to save the chicken houses and other
buildings which encrclcd the barn.
Frank schellenger, who happened to
be passing in his flivver, seeing the
fire, stopped and unloaded some lum-
ber he had on and turned around.
gathering up carload of men, and
took personal supervision of the
work of fighting the flames back.
Two wells were handy and soon
all the buildings around the burning
barn were either soaked or torn a
way, so that the flames could not get
farther than the immediate building,
which included workshop full of all
kinds of carpenters tools, which Mr..
Erwin priced very highly. About six
hundred bushels Of barley was also
stored in the barn and numerous 9TH
er things in the way of farm ma
chinery and farm tools.
However, there was no possible
chance to save t barn and the ma
jor portion of its valuable contents.
The barn and contents were COM
puted total loss by the Grange Mu-
tual Insurance Company, and settled
for on that basis. While at the time
the insurance was written the build
ing was supposed to be fairly cover
ed, at the present price of materials
it is not adequate to cover the loss.
The fire started from an unknown
cause but the theory is that it may
have been caused by live Goals in
an old stove that stood in the shop,
and was used occasionally.
Some house paint (which they htd
intended using this spring and big
ball of pitch was in the shop and
these fed the flames to a white heat
when the fire started. Fortunate
ly the wind was not blowing to am
cunt to anything, and this contri-
buted 20 saving the remainder of the
farm buildings.

contained Il most interesting nara

Gle Sans largest battlcships, in the
bay, which, being Of so much bigger
type of ship than ever had been re-
leased before, that extra precautions
had to be taken relative to giving il
n safe conduct down the slide into

hip was launched was rather narrow
and directly opposite was n wharf.
