GLENDALE CAUSE Of
CONSIDERABLE LOSS
GLENDALE, Feb Sire of I'M
known origin was discovered about
12:3 30 Wednesday morning which al
most totally destroyed the Glendale
Grocery and badly damaged Lowers
service station. Night Officer King on
his rounds discovered the fire in the
room in the rear of the buildings and
Immediately sounded the alarm. A
large crowd of people soon collected,
considering the lateness of the hour
and aided in putting out the fire.
1t is thought that the fire originated
in the stock room in the rear of the
Glendale Grocery, as the charred re-
mains show that evidently the fire had
been burning there some time. 1t
quickly spread to the rafters in the
ceiling of the Glendale Grocery. The
front room part Of the grocery, how
ever, was not damaged much by fire
amount of damage. 1t is understood
thattsome insurance is carried on the
stock. The building that is owned by
William Walters will virtually have
to be reroofed and replastered. No
insurance was in force on the building.
Lowers service station, the building
also being owned by Mr.. Lower, suf-
fered the greatest amount of Damage
in the rear part The fire from the
stock room quickly spread to the room
in rear of the station in which the air
pump is located and the barrels of
grease and heavy oil are kept. Thanks
to the untiring efforts of the fire
fighters these supplies and pump were
not damaged to any extent. The store
part however was badly damaged by
smoke and water. Mr.. Lower estimat-
ing the loss to the building and stock
at about $4,000.
One accident occurred that might
have proved fatal B. j. Brown, EN-
pioyed at the service station, realiz-
ing that there was fire between the
roof and the ceiling, placed a ladder
UP to the front of the building and
climbed up to knock out a Iatticed
grating so that wate- NIGH, be played
on the rafters. Just as he drew back
with the axe. the ladder slipped and
he crashed TO the pavement, the axe
striking him on the back of the head,
rendering him Glomentariiy uncon-
scfcu3 An Ggly and very painful
woEnc was inflicted. He was lnme-
diately given medical attention and
removed to his home.
