a fire starting In the second story
of the Orange Kist bottling works
building on st. Charles street, be-
tween Seventh and Eighth streets
did damage estimated at several
hundreds Of dollars before Ii was
finally extinguished by Central fire
station department.
The fire was reported at 1890
and had gained ~appreciable head
way before the trucks arrived at
the scene.
The Orange Kist bottling works
occupies the first floor of the build
ing, formerly occupied by the DR..
Pepper company, and the second
floor is composed Of several apart
ments, all rented. II is thought the
fire originated in one Of the apart
mentS, spreading over the entire
second floor and into the third
floor attic.
The blaze was soon under control,
several fire trucks making the run.
The building, Of wood, allowed the
fire to spread rapidly before the
fire department arrived.
A crowd Of several hundred per-
sons gathered and were kept away
from the engines by police. The
district IS thickly populated. and
1t was feared the flames would
spread TO nearby wood buildings.
According ID fire chief II. j. Sar-
ran. the origin OF the fire was not
known at 1870 D. m. Investigations
would be continued during the
afternoon. he added.
The 'amage could not be estim-
ated accurately, as the value OF
furniture. clothes. and articles be-
longing to residents was not known.
The second and third floors Of the
buildings were seriously burnt.
