Fire turmoil at McKenzie building as ladder collapse injures man
Special Court Officer E and Park Commissioner J Cochran had prisoners taken into custody after a wallet attempt near the Candler building. A bystander thwarted a pocket theft, while flames raged for hours at the Johnson-Gewinner store causing $25,000 in damage. Ladderman Davis fell from a 30-foot ladder, badly injured, amid cheering crowds, as police restrained panicked spectators. Mayor Woodward and Police Chief Beavers watched the blaze unfold, with ongoing tension between political rivals. The McKenzie building, dating back about forty years, housed the Woodmen of the World and various offices on its upper floors.
