RECKs COURT-s3OO LOSS RE
PORTED.

Employees of the county building
were given genuine fire scare this
afternoon when q cOnfagratiOn was
discovered burning in the mems toilet
room on the third floor. The damage
caused by the blaze will amount to
about $500 and is entirely covered by
insurance. a careless smoker who
laid down a lighted cigarette is sup
posed to be responsible for the fire.
The blaze was discovered shortly
after 1 o'clock by Deputy Circuit
Clerk Charles Glenn and Court Stem
ographer Horace Hull Mr.. Glenn re-
turned from lunch and smelled smoke
when he entered the building on the
first floor He and Mr. Hull started
making tour of investigation. In the
mems toilet on the third floor, which
is just north of the County Court
room, they discovered the scene Of
the fire
Mr.. Gleim opened the door, but was
unable to 90 inside on account Of the
dense clouds of smoke, which threat
ened to overcome him The city fire
department was summoned and re
sponded quickly In spite of the de-
serted condition Of the loop, due to
the Thursday afternoon half holiday,
a large crowd gathered when ther
learned that the court house was on
fire.
The blaze was nut out by the use
of chemicals after few minutes
fighting but it was necessary for the
irCmen to break out the windows
leading into the County Court jury
room to keep from being overcome
by smoke
Architect Jason +, Richardson, who
was summoned, made an examination
and stated that the path Of the blaze
indicated that some smoker laid a
cigarette down on rCll of toilet
paper which was laying on a water
tank. The lack of air kept the fire
from being famed into a blaze, but
caused it to creep up slowly. making
much smoke. The fire travelled up
the wooden partition and door casing
for a distance of about six CT eight
feet.
The cigarette is supposed to have
hen parked on the toilet paper just
before the luncheon hour As the of
fees of the court house are closed
from IL to | o'clock, the fire got an
hours start before being observed.
