' The fire burned on both slopes of

slope facing Sownrd Street. Shortly
| after the fire started the lights went
lout in the building. ,
Two lines of hose were used on .
the slope facing Seward Street, by
the Fire Department, and water
was kept on the other slope from a|
hose- in the Ooklstein Buikling and!
from a line run from Main and j
Second. Both fire trucks were taken j
out, the smaller replacing the big
truck when equipment from it had |

i used on the blaze. The fire wtsj
kept in the second story of the:
, buifdlng and was extinguished about)

The flames were! difficult to fight;
on account of the location of the
building behind the street build
ing's. and with no lights. Chief Gray
salid today. It was necessary to
chop a number of holes in the roof|
to got at the flames and difficulty!
was met in attempling to get water I
into the interior of the place on j
account of the steep stairs and nar-;
row turns leading to the top floor. |
The firemen worked with system
atic efficiency he said.
Damage to Rooms.
The entire top floor was damaged
by the flames and the water. The!
rooms and the contents of the first
floor were damaged by water, except :
! two in the front of the building, :
and the one occupied by Mrs. Tur- :
: ner also in the front, in which the j
water damaged only the carpet.
There are 21 rooms In the lodging :
i house, 13 on the first floor and i
| eight on the top floor. All were :
occupied except the room on the top;!
floor in which the tire first bsoke;:
! through.
Britt's Damage.
The water poured through the 1
I two stories of the rooming houseji
jimto the Britt Pharmacy, complete-;!
! ly ruining the ceiling of the entire;!
store intcvior and damaging the'!
.contents along the left side from;
the entrance, in the store. Nearly
everything in the stock room at the
; rear was also damaged. The rear;
rooms of the First National Dank:
building, and especially the office1
of President Reck, were also dam-j
aged by .the water.
The Inmates of the place werej
; aroused 'by people who first saw the
; flames. Mrs. Turner said she Was
• aroused by someone pounding on
; her door and celling “Are.” Just
: as she started to dress the lights
went out and she had difficulty in
j getting about. She was takwi to
! the street by fniends who had gone
! in to her assistance.
Narrow Escape.
! Dan Gage, one of the roomers
i on the top floor, not awakened arfd
When he bad not reported to Mrs.
Turned on the street she told one
! of the other tenants Who went back
| and aroused him and who was com
| pelled to run for the lower floor on
'account of the flames. Gage was
j unable to follow on account of tho
! (lames and smoke and went out his
i Window to a chimney from which
j bo jumped four feet across the roof
to the bank building.
John Reck, who was on the roof
of the hank building said Gage
■ who is an elderly man, made the
jump with only the support of tho
chimney, a feat which he could
probably never bad done under
ordinary circumstances. Gage had
left* his little dog behind in his
. room. A short ladder was secured
and put from the roof to the win
dow sill and the dog walked across
J to safety.
j Mrs. Turner said that several of
j the rooms in the place which were
I damaged most severely by the fire.
| had recently be repainted and pap
