At 7 o'clock yesterday morning the attention of a member of the police force was called to smoke sweeping fireworks and he called in the alarm. The fire department just across the street responded and attacked the fire
After an hour of continuous fighting, firemen and the large crowd gathered to witness the spectacle saw a third floor crumble and a third story crush through to the lower floor. Five streams of water kept a constant pressure of 56 pounds at the second floor, but when driven into the second and first floors stopped the progress of the flames which had grown into a roof roof when at their greatest height.
The fire was extinguished after a seven hour battle, but Fire Chief Jake Warner said people against venturing too near the building, as the upper part of the walls were damaged.
One caseway was reported yesterday. Alfred J. Grasses, instructor in journalism, slipped on the wet side while climbing inside building and strained his ankle.
