FIRE WIPED OUT THE GARAGE AND DAMAGED ADJOINING BUILDINGS. ARCADE FIRB DEPARTMENT DID FINE WORK The Chafee Garage, owned by ' Horton Bros., was totally destroyed by fire about 12 o'clock Tuesday. The blaze originated about the chim ney over the garage, and it looked, for a time, as though a good part of the business section would be wiped out. I A telephone message to the Arcade Fire Department brought -their fine pumper and chemical engine with a good.force of firemen. Twenty minutes from the time word was telephoned to Arcade the firemen had a stream turned on. The garage was about burned when they arrived and the Hakes Hotel on the south side and the store building on the north side were both on fire. The firemen made quick work on both the ndjoining' buildings and succeeded in saving them both with but small damage. The store building is owned by M. Lux of Buffalo and was unoccupied x The Hakes Hotel escaped w.ith a scotching and a number .of broken windows. * 1 The loss on the buildings is partial ly covered by insurance. The people of Chafee wish *us to express their deep appreciation for the work of the Arcade firemen. ' Chafee maintains a large water tank for fire protection, and it cer tainly .proved its value.
