High water carried out the Dead

Fire of unknown origin which start
ed In tho basement of tho 11. C. Gar
nett hardware store In the Liberty
building, and which was only discov
ered at 7:30 o'clock p. in. Sunday ap
parently after having smoldered for
hours, practically gutted the rear of
the hardware store, damaged the rear
part of the Geo. L. Trelchler Motor
company sales room next door on tho
same, floor, crawled up to the sec
ond floor, and filled tho offices and
halls thruout the four story brick
structure with smoke.
The total loss Is estimated at not
less than $25,000, fully coverod by In
surance. The fire because of tli location in
the business district caused much ex
citement and apprehension for an hour
or so after it was discovered. Never
theless it was one of the least spec
tacular flies In the city's history be
cause of its snumldorlng nature, the
flumes being smothered In smoke.
There were hundreds of spectators at
the fire.
Tho fire resulted In the building's
heating plant being knocked out, at
least temporarily, and the burning
through of a main calilo of tho tele
phone company which knocked out
about 100 phones In the business ills-'
trlct until this forenoon when tho ser
vice 'was restored. It did no damage
to tho electric light service, but' tho
power company phut off the lights of
the Liberty building after the flro was
discovered.
The elevator service of tho building
was also temporarily knocked out, but
was In partial operation again lale this
forenoon.
H. C. Gnrnott cnrrlod a stock valued
at $15,000, which was fully Insured.
Tho majority of this stock was dam
aged by fire, heat, water and smoko,
and considerable of it totally destroy
ed. i ho loss on the Liberty building Is
estimated nt about $10,000 to $15,000.
Dr. Henry Hart, agent of tho building
today was unable to say just what ho
deemed the loss, but said that tho
building was fully insured.
Tho plate glass windows of tho Oar
nett store were bin Is en In by Hie fire
men and assistants in order o give
the smouldering flro mure air, in en
couraging it to breftk out so that It
cthild be local od and fought.
The loss of George L. Trelchler Is
comparatively small, as ho was on tho
sceno shortly nfler the fire was discov
ered and the alarm turned In, and with
plenty of help succeeded In rolling out
eight valuable 'cars, five of them
Dodges and three of them Stevens.
One of the latter was badly Bcorched
before lt could he taken out pf the
building. Mr. Trelchler carried full
Insurance. The front window of tho
salesroom was broken bo that the
office desks and papers could ho
thrown to tho street.
Tho Liberty Repair shop located at
the rear of the building nn the first
floor and fronting on South Grape
street escaped damage. .
Every office In the building Buffered
damage more or less by the heavy
smoke.
The origin of the first is a mystery.
Thero was no fire in .tho furnace all
day Sunday, and only a small flro had
been started In lt Saturday morning,
as Saturday was a holiday.
Two boys passing by on tho street
first discovered the fire through seeing
smoke pouring from tho windows, and
an -alarm was turned In. The' fire
must have -been smoldering for hours
before, to so fill the building through
out with heavy smoke.
Another evidence of this was the.
fact that the telephone cable running
through the basement had been par
tially burned through from a half hour
to an hour before the alarm was turn
ed In, as 30 or more lights became
"permanent" on the switchboard at the
telephone exchange. . -
When the firemen arrived on the
scene they wore up against it, as no
fire showed but heavy palls of smoke
were pouring from the building, which
came out In almost overwhelming vol
ume when the front and rear doors
and windows wertf broken open.
