SEVEN THOUSAND
DOLLAR FIRE
AT HOOKER PLANT
Three Families Stfffer Loss
and Water Does the
Most Damagò
Fi re which started in the fourth
floor of the big brick building of O.
V. Hooker & Son, at 4 o'clock 'in
day morning did $7,00t) damage be
fore it was under control
one Lsur and fivc minutes
later. The' fire started from
some unknown cause in the tenement
of I. J. Dow and the flames were con
fined entircJy to his apartment. The
two automobile trucks were quickly
on the scene and the rest of the fire
men carne as soon as they could get
drefscd, in responso to the general
olarni. Chief Marden had six streams
playing on the building and several
more laid in case of an emergency.
The principili damage was by water
which flooded the tenement of Mortoli,
J. Ueed, manager of the Hooker plant,
and the tenement on the third floor
occupied by Henry W. Ellis. The
water poured down through every
room in the big building, and be
sides necessitating a complete rcnova
tion of the tenements on the three
upper flooi-s the stock rooms were
flooded and after the fire was extin-
guished there vere several inches of
water on the. basement floor.
Mr. Dow saved little of his ho"use
hold goods and carried no insurance.
He is the heaviest loser by the fire
and hi lost will exceed $1,000. M..
Ilecd and Maj. Ellis saved consider
ale of their household furniture and
had their propcrty insureJ. The
Dows will live for the present at the
home f Fred N. Elliott; Capt. Ellis'
family will live at tho home of Wil
liam G. Cox while repairs are madc
and the Reeds have decidcd to live i:i
their own apartment.
The loss in the O. V. Hooker &
Sori plant, aside from the damage '
the tenements on the upper floors,
was caused by the water which pene
trated every part of the building. The
damage to the stock and the lower
MoorcMArfH -be arounÀ $5,000 and the
insurance will lielp cover the loss.
Much of the stock can be saved, but
it will have to be ali sorted over and
made presentable for future salos.
The. force have been busy ever sin. e
cleaning up the rooms and ovcrhaul
ing the stock.
An investigation is being made as
to the cause of the fire which would
have been very disastrous if it had
not been well handled by our depart-nient.
