Excitement At
Lincoln School

Great excitement was produced
among the teachers and pupils at the
Lincoln school building on East Main
street about IL O'Clock this morning
when a safety valve attached to the
boiler in the basment blew OF and the
building became filled with steam. The
trouble was caused by the janitor al
lowing too much draft into the fur
mace, which resulted in superheating
the boiler and the blowing on OF the
valve, with its consequent escape Of
steam.
A fire alarm was turned IN and the
department made prampt response 20
the cali upon it. but its services were
not needed as the trouble was all over
before its arrival. In spite % rumors
that the building was blazing the chill
dren were safely conducted from the
structure without panic in less than
half a minute, demonstrating the ef-
fciency Of the fire drill TO which they
had ben subjected. Nobody was hurt
and the damage was unimportant.
Several hundred people hurried to
the vicinity when the report became
current that the school building was
on fire.
