SALISBURY. Town Threatened with Bad Fire. On Saturday morning a little before six o'clock Salisbury, had a fire which, if it had not been for the prompt actien of the people, would have swept and wiped out one of the main business blocks of our town. | The fire started in the heater room ! of the onera house building owned by Mrs. Drucilla Hay. The floor un-| der which the fire started is oceu- | pied by James Dunn who conducts | a restaurant. When the fire was first noticed it had not yet burned thru the first floor but the blaze came out of a coal schute in the driveway be- tween Dietz hotel and the opera | after "the alarm was given that a | large crowdwas on hand to fight fire, | The fire engine was rushed to the | scene of the fire and it was our first | real test of the merits of our new | fire engine of which so much differ- | ence of opinion existed here. { All Agree as to Worth of Fire Engine Most all of the citizens are now satisfied for there is no doubt that | town now would present quite a dif- | ferent appearance, for had the opera | house burned ik<would have taken the Hay Hotel, the Wilt building, owned | by C. M. May and doubtless the Val- | ley and others in turn.
