A spectacular fire shortly after mid
night this morning, caused loss esti-
mated at S25. 900 TO the building and
contents of the Lindeman Motor
Sales CO., garage on Main street,
lust southwest of fire headquarters.
There were ten ears In the garage but
half Of them were run TO place of
safety by members Of the fire depart
ment. The old wooden structure,
in bygone years used as livery
stable. was Quilted and the roof burn
ed off. Seven good streams Of water
we're poured into and onto the burn
ing building aud the fire kept within
the building where il started. The
cause of the fire Is unknown but n
short circuit in an automobile has
been suggested as the beginning OF the
blaze.
One Of the first to discover the FIRE
was Alderman John Dean. He came
from the Masonic club with Fire
Chief Thurston. Mr.. Thurston had
gotten into his car and was driving
away when Mr.. Dean discovered the
garage was blazing. lie called TO the
chief but ne did not hear the call and
had nearly reached home when the
alarm rang in.
Alderman Dean sent young man
to ring in the alarm. Box al IN the
heart of the business section was pul
led in and a general alarm sounded.
From all parts Of the city people
foeked to the scene. Automobiles were
parked all along South Main street
and on Main street. The crowd
wedged itself in front Of the railroad
station and had TO be driven back by
fire police.
Confusion Caused
The scene of the fire is IN the rear
Of fire headquarters and no time was
lost in getting streams Of water on.
Some confusion was caused, as well as
delay, on the north side Of the blaz-
ing building and the fremen We're for
a short time handicapped 81 this point.
In this locality, and in close proximity
Of the burned building, is the garage
of the Putnam Inn. The guests in tbs
Inn were quickly awakened and sofas
became a bit alarmed but there wa
no confusion. Those who had car
put up for the night hurried to tbs
