# Morning •
/The "fire truck was called out this morning at 9:40 to answer an alarm on Sixth Street W. The fire originated in the barn of* Game Warden Ernest Olson but soon spread to the chicken house and then to the garage of V. Wright and the one of Hugh Campbell behind i t It is not known how the fire started but When. Mrs. Olson looked out of the window the barn was a mass of name's. An alarm was turned in and the truck was out of the barn almost before the whistle was thru blowing. Two hose were used, one was connected to the hydrant on 'Sixth St and Monongalia ave and the other one was connected at Seventh St, and Minnesota ave. The truck was used on the Seventh St connection'in order to give the water greater pressure.
As the fire could not he stopped on the Olson barn, an attempt was made to save the new garage of Hugh Campbell and thru good work of the fire department only the roof and sides were burned. Water was also carried in pails to help put the blaze ou t Mr. Campbell estimates his loss at about $150. Mr. Olson left about three o'clock this morning for a trip out into the country and did not arrive home until the fire was nearly out. He does not know how much his loss will come to but some furniture belonging to his mother was stored in the barn and this was a total loss. Two stoves, two new bicycles, ^storm windows and many other articles also were destroyed. • -
The garage of Van 'Wright also was a total loss. Luckily their car happened to be in a downtown garage undergoing repairs or that would have been destroyed. Their storm windows, stove and. other articles were lost.
Mr. Olson's chicken house was practically destroyed, the roof andVsid«% being all charred. The chickens were driven out at the.bu|ninghuUdiiig..and ran across the *flet(E*"
The fire rivaled, the large 'blase at the fair grounds when tile eating house was burned to the ground. The fire this morning was fanned by a very high wind which carried sparks and burning embers for many feet. The roof of the Peter Hoaglund home, about two hundred feet away, was in the direct path of the flying embers. Water had to be poured on the roof with pails to keep the house from catching on fire. The home of Van Wright also was in danger. A garden hose was connected to the city water pipe and the roof sprinkled. This undoubtedly kept their house from burning.
