Utterly Dcatrsycd OhaBRe of
Wind Save! tho TiwnOlly OMccra
Thoroughly Kxrlted,
On Wednesday nftornoou nt 3:10 the
terriblo and thrilling, yet over fascinat
ing cry of firo was echoed from ono
mouth to nnothor, spreading with the
rapidity as such alarms alwuys travel,
instantly starting u large crowd for tho
scene ot destruction. Owing to tho dan
ger , tho firo alarm did not sound but a
short spaco oMImo. Tho firo started in
tho residence of R. M. Cochrano on
Seward street, and was caused by a
cloth which was spread over tho tank of
a gasolino stove becoming ignited from
the Haines which tho wind caused to
swerve. Mrs. Cochrano was tho first to
notice the danger, and calling for help
sho ran out of tho house. Mr. Coch
rane thon appeared on the scone, and in
tearing the rag from the tank, tho latter
bocamo loosened and foil to tho tloor,
whore tho Homes Immediately fed on
the fresh fuel and made it utterly use
less for him to further attempt to stay
the blaze. Thoro was an insurance of
$600 on tho houso, but that is n small
amount compared with the loss, nothing
being saved, with tho excoption of one
chair which stood on the outside. It is
extremely lucky that no ono was burned
by the explosion of the gasoline.
rlllKMF.N ON HAND.
Among tho first to mako their appear
onco woro the fire boys, who immediate
ly unreoled their hoso, carrying it bo
twooti tho burning building and tho
houso standing north of it, and then it
was discovered that thoro was
NO KOItOE TO THE WATF.lt,
which immediately caused great excite
mont to prevail among tho citizens, as
tho wind was blowing directly toward
tho main part ot town. It appears that
they had the pump apart at tho engino
houso, putting in a new suction pipe,
and instead ot filling the standpipo and
thon shutting the main oir, tnoro was
only about 36 feet ot wator therein in
the morning and it was allowed to run,
thus using the whole supply by noon,
and thereby maklng tho firemen help
less to cope wiin a lire, it moro had
boon wator, there is no doubt but what
tho frame of tho first houso could havo
boen savod, and tho sooond one not so
much as scorched. When they wore ap
prised of the fact that they could do no
good in that direction, they instantly
realized that tho
NEXT HOUSE MfflT (10,
bo thoir attontion was turned toward
saving the household goods and in an in
credibly short timo with tho kindly holp
of citizens, tho goods woro carried to u
placo ot safety. Tho north rooms wore
oocupicd by Miss Joslo Igou, whoso fur
niture, piano, otc, woro nlso safoly re
moved. Tho flames mado rapid head
way and soon enveloped the building,
IIia rcsidoiico of Mrs J. A. Tnit. which
wss burned to tho ground. Thoro being
no insurance it was n total loss.
(UtEAT ENDURANCE.
At tho noxt placo, Rov. Geo. O, Vols
or's, great enauranco and noblo work
was noticeablo on tho part of the firo
department and citizens. Thoy succeed
ed in saving the houso by staying right
by it during most extreme heat and stif
ling smoko and carriod overy pail of
wator from a distance, passing the water
into willing hands, und right here a
groat many thanks ore duo u numbor
of ladies, who carried water for a bloek
or more. It is doubtful whether thoy
coUld have stayed on the bulldinc fit-
toon minutes longer had the wind not
Huddoaly changed bo as to drivo the
boat across tho stroot, and for such he
roic work on that building, othors
doubtless owo tho enjoyment ot thoir
nrcsent homos. Mr. lelsora household
goods woro carried out nnd otherwise
badly handled, bat it proved to bo un
necessary.
. Pllin ACKOHS THE HTRKF.T.
Ono of tho houses on tho opposlto
side of the street caught fire threo times
and othors wore badly bllstored, but
owing to wet blankets and ready volun
teers the fire was kopt from spreading.
Fire was noticed in tho barn of E. Mo
Furland, two blocks distant, butwasex
tinguished before gaining any headway.
Had one more building becomo ignited,
tho people would probably have becomo
discouraged and divided, and at the rato
the wind was then rising, thoro would
have been a largo sweep in the city.
CITIZENS ALARMED.
A great many ot our citizons wore con
siderably frightened and mado all prep
arations to movo in case of necessity.
RECEIVE WATER.
After somo timo tho numn was nut to
gether and the onginoor set to work,
which enabled the tiromon to throw a
small stream to koop tho sparks down
und wot tho dobris of the destroyed
houses. After receiving the wator tho
dungor was soon past.
' 'a i.ehhq.v.
This Ib tho third time sinco tho water
works woro instituted in Rod Cloud
that thoy huvo hud occasion to ubo the
witter whon it was found to be lacking
not enough pressure to throw a stream
two feet and wo don't know how. many
othor times it has beon in the sumo con
dition when it was not ueeded. It
seems as it it would bo advisable to havo
an extra engino on hand, and in cuso ro
puirs woro wanted tnore would be no
need ot shutting the water oft, und more
thun tuut, It would remove a groat deal
of responsibility besides lessoning the
danger of our citizons' and more-hunts'
