Small Blaze at Makeever House Subdued with Chemicals.

A small blaze at the Makeever hcrfise occasioned by gasoline, was put out Tuesday with a chemical engine after a fire alarm had been turned in. The alarm was misunderstood at the central office, owing to the excitement at the transmitting end, and the department was not called out. The chemical engines are a great thing to have handy when a fire starts.
