The Lake Shore Railroad company sustained its first mentionable loss here early this morning when a Big Four freight car was burned. When the alarm first went out it was thought that the depot and the buildings of the Calumet Supply company were burning.

The police hurried down to the yard and isolated the car thus preventing the spreading of the fire, although the end of a gondola was badly schorched before they got them apart.
