Quick action on the part of near
by business men probably averted a
serious fire in the business block on
Saturday afternoon. The frame
building on the corner of Commerce
and Clark streets, tenanted by ia
cob Fine and owned by Mrs. Dorman
of Salisbury, Md, was the scene of
the blaze which originated when
Morris Fine was operating peanut
roaster and attempted to add gaso-
line to the tank with the fire lighted.
In a short space of time the entire
corner of the store and contents in
the show window were ablaze. A fire
extinguisher from the store OF
Sharp and Fleming was pressed into
service and soon had the fire under
control. The local fire department
quickly responded and used one
hand extinguisher.
