SHOWS
TWO Homes on Fulton Hiil Threatened
City Firemsn Are
CAlled.

Instead Of the customary mid-Febru-
ary eight or ten inches OF snow and a
temperature we'll below the freezing
point. Wheeling yesterday experienced
a typical spring day. with nHe forest
fires raging in the neighoorhood.
The most serious OF the five began
yesterday afternoon at ESQ O'Clock ana
ragged until six. spreading over an area
two miles wide and over the Fulton Hi.
finally burning itsclt out IN StacNSaro
Hollow, At Glenwood.
Two homes were seriously threatened
by ths flames, which spread rapidly in
the very heavy wind. and were only
saved by the city nremen blowing up I
distance OF ground around the nomes'
and getting back fires.
The home threatened were those OF
Mrs. James KeltZ. at the top of the hill
and the home OF Mrs. James Hedges,
about a mile farther over the hill. How
ever neither were damaged. although
the flames had spread so close at one
time, the houses were almost Abandoned.
Perhaps the next most serious began
at . o'clock in the afternoon in the west
end OF the Mount Rose cemetery, nnalIy
burning itself out near the midway
road in the cemetery. after charrins
trees and bushes.
The tirSt hrc occurred IN inc HIoth-
ing on the hill near Caldwe!rs Run The
firemen from Engine Company NO. :
answered a still alarm and batt'ed with
the flames for more than an hour, hnallS
quenching It after IL had spread over n
distance OF almost q mile.
The fourth fire OF the day occurred
late In the afternoon when fire was
started on the east side of Rcymann 5
Hill. which for time threatened TO
sweep around the hill. hitting the resi-
Dental section Of Leatherwood. but the
wind vcered. causing the hre TO be
checked.
The nth. and perhaps the smallest
OF the fires. occurred between the
PENNSYLVANIA tracks and the Wheeling
Traction company tracks between stops
four and SIX. above the city water works
This fire finally burned itself out with
out any serious damage.
The origin OF any OF the fires except
the one up the river is IT mystery, the
up river fire having started from sparks
from q passing locomotive.
