ed to a call on Sunday afternoon,
shortly after five o'clock for the
lumber yard of the Simpler Lumber
and Coal Company, in FELTON,, where |
an old dwelling house converted into
a storage building, was in flames.
Shortly after the fire started, pump
ing with booster line, the local fire
engine decided to go on strike and
refused to pump any more water.
Frederick carried on and prevented
the flames from spreading. L. M.
Simpler, when interviewed, said the
building was probably worth about
5000 with the contents consisting
mostly of coal and plaster lathes,
also valued at 5000. Both the build
ing and contents were covered by
insurance. Only the one building was
DESTROYED. Mr.. Simpler said he was
notified by children that the build
ing was ON fire and when he arrived
the fire seemed to be on the roof,
and he believes a spark from pass
ing locomotive started the blaze. The
lumber yard is located on the east
side of the railroad tracks just at
the northern limits of the town. Wa
ter was carried to the fire engines
by large truck full of milk cans.
