SHOE STORE LOSS
IN BLAZE $4,000
Firemen JaCquet and Baum
bach Slightly Hurt at Sew
enth Street Scene.

Flames, famed by draft from a
dumb waiter shaft, swept through the
shoe store of Lewis 81 Boyce, at 439
Seventh street, early last night. Dam
age was unofficially estimated at APP
proximately $4,000.
Two flremen, Pvts. v, j. Jacquet of
No. 7 Engine Company and C. H.
Baumbach of No Truck Company,
were slightly injured.
Firemen confined the flames to the
shore store and the second floor of the
building. Only slight water damage
was reported by tenants adjoining the
shoe store.
The first alarm was tapped off at
GILT pm. after Max Needle, who con-
ducts a tailoring shop at 437 Seventh
street, saw the flames from the sky
light of his establishment. A second
alarm followed a few minutes after
apparatus reached the scene.
Firemen said they believed that en-
bers removed from a furnace a short
time before were famed into flame by
q draft from hthe dumb waiter shaft
nearby, causing the fire. No one was
in the building at the time.
The fire marshal was to conduct an
investigation today in order to official
ly determine the cause of the blaze
and the extent of damage. Operators
of the shoe store, S. F. Lewis and T.
Edward Boyce, said the damage would
probably run between $3.50 and $40
000 The building is owned by Charles
D. Fowler of New York.
