Haskell Damage Is About $6000; Fire Origin Is Unknown
Many Onlookers Attracted by Flames; No Serious Injuries Are Reported
The estimated loss in the fire at Haskell last night which burned the lumber and coal sheds at 10 p.m. it was about $8,000, according to C. M. Blair, superintendent of Haskell. The cause of the blaze is unknown.
The fire completely destroyed two lumber sheds containing shipments of new lumber, a coal shed, and did considerable damage to a water tower and the manual training building before the flames were subdued.
Flames of unknown origin were first noticed in the lumber needles. They spread rapidly throughout these buildings and maneuvered the manual firefighters to evacuate therence fire department; aided by the Haskell student fire-fighters, had their equipment ready to fight the flames. In spite of the lack of pressure behind the fire, the firingmen could only shoot the flames and soon had the fire under control.
The sky over Haskell was lighted by the hird glaze of the flames, and the eight attracted hundreds of percussionists as they who hurried to the scene. Automobiles were parked for a distance of seven or eight blocks leading to the grounds. Some of the odorers showed that they were armoured from alumber by their garb.
No one was seriously injured by the fire, but one Haskell student was overcome by smoke while fighting the fire in the manual training building and had to be carried out into the air where he soon recovered.
A number of electric wires directly above the flames lost their insulated covering, and until the power was turned off, the air was filled with electricity which kept the creed of spectators at a respectable distance.
