Twenty cars wero burned and the loss is estimated at $20,000, partially covered by Insurance. Tho fire was first noticed shortly af ter eight o'clock just after a car run ning on three cylinders and very hot had boon driven Into tho garage and placed in tho vulcanizing department! whero tho fire started. Immediately after this enr was brought in Clint Potter, tho night man, noticed tho blazo start and immediately after it an explosion. lie turned around to got a hoso to turn on nnd when ho again looked tho entire end of the building was ablaze. Ho immediately went to ono at tho doors and tried to get ooino of tho cars out, but tho flro gained so rapidly that he was unablo to do so. Tho flro had gained considernblo headway before tho firemen could get to work. Tho flro truck, which was stored in the building, was blocked by another car and they wore ten minutes getting it pulled out Had tho flro truck not been blocked In, the fire would have been under control much sooner. Tlie truck wns blocked by a large Case car belonging to a tourist. Ho had driven Into tho buldlng and was attempting to get his ! car out. He ran it in ahead of th6 flro truck and turned it crosswiso in front of tho door when he killed his engine and was obliged to leavo it stand and run for his life. In the excitement ho left tho brakes set. The lrcmcn groped their way through the dense and hot blinding smoke and attached a rope to tho tourist car and after much effort succeeded in pull ing It out. They .then went back for tho fire truck and succeeded in rescuing It after the paint on it had been blistered but otherwise uninjured. ' The flro was one of tho worst the town has ever seen. The interior of the building was completely gutted. The building was built in tho shape of an L around tho building occupied by tho Dickey bakery. The roar of the buldlng, which is composed of three rooms, was tho worst damaged. Tho flro started in the store room, tho west part of tho rear L. It is a room about SOxGO feet and nearly all tho cars that wero in the building were in it The fire was first noticed coming out of the windows in the vulcanizing room is located In tho northwest cor ner of It and there the first oxploslon occurred.. A consent firewall prevented tho flames from sjreading into the adjoining buildings, but they spread over tho remainder, of the .store room and into the snap with great rapidity. Tlie shopB are located in the north east part of th buldlng. Much dam age was dono there as all the ma chinery was destroyed. In tho third room in the front of tho building the fire truck was stored. This part of the building faces Fifth street. Tho lire caught in that part of tho building last, but tho gmoke was so thick in thoro as to mako it impo3slblo for tho firemen to enter and they had to fight from the roofs of adjoining buildings until they got tho flro under control. Tho damage was least in tho sales room of the buldlng which faces Dew ey street. The ofllco was also in that part of tho building and all tho books, together with the safo were Raved. The inside of this room is bady scorched and tho cars which wore thoro were damaged to no small oxtont by the flames Tho salesroom is owned by Mr. Hlnnian while tho remainder of tho building bolongs to James J3elton of San Diogo, Calif. Both buildings woro insured. Tho damage to the adjoining build ings was slight. Harry Samolson, who runs a clothing store In tho build ing located ono door north, was'prob ably tho worst hit. His damage was mostly from smoke and is covered by Insurance The homo of Mr. and Mrs. Josoph Fillion was also consfderaby damaged by smoke and wator.. Tho DIckoy bakery was practically un damaged as was tho Crystal theatre. Tho barn bolonging to tho Marti meat market waB destroyed. Tho burning building was a terrible, fascinating sight and was vlowcd by sovoral thousand people. Tho streets woro densely packed, many assisting tho llrcmen while others woro In tho way of tho flro fighters. Tho explo sions which occurred during tho early stages of tho flro mado it oxtromely dangorous for tho firemen and for tho spectators who Insisted in crowding near tho burning building.
