Explosion Causes
Fire al Fairbanks:
Ruins Bottled Mill

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, May 5-IR
An explosion caused a $4,000 fire
and ruined 300 gallons of expensive
and hard-to-get bottled milk ready
for delivery at Creamer's Dairy
yesterday.
Owner Charlie Dreamer said
fumes from spray paint rocked his
new $4,000 combination milk stor-
age and garage building. The blast
shook awake some dairy hands
sleeping in quarters some few hun
dred feet distant.
Origin of the blaze was undeter-
mined, but Dreamer said it could
have started from a cigarette or
faulty wiring.
Carpenters and painters who had
been working in the building had
stepped outside and the building
was empty when the explosion
struck.
