She 4 also states that there were a gr,.al many rats In the hulld- lug and Is fiinily convinced that they gnawed the insulation 4- from the electric wires, caus- ini; a short circuit which reft- suited in fire. The building ft was insured for $.10.0011, ft which will take care of the ft damage caused. For the fourth time, Mercy hospi tal caught Hie this morning and by dint of hard work only, on the part of the fire department assisted by volunteer helpers, was It saved from complete distructlon. The fire originated in the attic, the same as t all former occasions but this time had a much better start than iK-fore and considerably more dam age das done. The fire was first seen by students looking from windows of the high irhool and the alarm was turned in from there. The file department responded Quickly and a record was established in a quick run to tho scene of the conflagration. At the time of the arrival of the firemen ii looked as if the building was roomed. The entire roof was ablaze, the flames and smoke shooting hli;h into the air. From all appearances the fire had spread throughout the entire attic before being discovered. It "did not break through the roof until the interior was a mass of flames and consequently the blaze put up a strong opposition to the (fforts of the firemen. - As quickly n possible a stream ot water was playing on the blaze from the interior of the building, while firemen perched perilously on the roof, with the shingles blazing under them, fought the fire from the outside. H required considerable time and a third line of hose to at laat gain control and this was only ccompllslnd with a greut deal of danger to the firemen. The men on the inside were forced to work their way through a trap door in the ceiling of the upper floor, their way being blocked by (lames, and then with the heat and raoke almost overpowering, they fought oat the worst of the fire. This position was madef more dan gerous when the roofs and gables Jiegan to collapse, but in spite of the danger the men held their places until their advantage wa? lamed. While il; is was going on, lndtin- trous civilians were busily engaged "i reiriiuiig the patients and turn- nmss from the building.
