Pipe endangered the trusineee district at 9 o'clock Tuesday night when a blaze starting in the rear of the Model Clothing company, 709 Main street, gained considerable headway

before it was discovered- Damage estimated at $5,000 was done to the building and stock In the store by fire

and water. Cause of the fire had not been defi nitely ascertained Wednesday morn

Log. W. EL Jameson, manager of the

clothing company, stated that he

thought It most nave started from a

defect m the wiring.

Origin is Unknown

Fire Chief Miller expressed the

opinion that the fire may have started from an electric iron which was left

burning. Mr. Jameson discredited

this, saying that the iron had not

Deen usea since early in ine after

noon.

The most damage was done to boys'

clothing shelved in the rear of the

store room. The case in which this clothing was held was virtually destroyed. The rear of the store room was gutted by the blaze. Smoke caused my the burning clothes made fighting the fire difficult, according to firemen. All the lights in the building were out which further added to difficulties. Elmer Berg, a fireman from No. 2 company was slightly injured by bumping into a glass show case. Mr. Jameson stated that hi3 loss was covered by insurance. He comIimented the work of the fire deDart-

ment in preventing further I06S to his store.
