The alarm brought the different companies on the scene in short order, and four streams from the engines and the plugs were turned in the cellar. It was necessary to effect an entrance through the rear of the building and by going down the steps amid dense clouds of smoke the fire was located among a lot of oil bar rels and about the joists of the floor, a well directed stream soon extinguished it and all danger was over, The store room goods were badly damaged by smoke. Ed. Garman's store and Joseph Brother's carpet rooms suffered some damage also from smoke. The Pearl family, who lived on the sec. ond and third stories of the same build: ing, had their household goods badly damaged by smoke, All parties carried insurance.
