Florence and Cripple Creek railroad shops destroyed
For the second time in less than a year the Florence and Cripple Creek railroad shops in this city were destroyed by fire. The loss is estimated at about 40 000 dollars, likely sparked by an imperfectly insulated electric wire causing a short circuit that ignited the rafters. The fire threatened nearby buildings, damaged three locomotives numbered 1, 8, and 25, and ruined much of the new machinery and tools inside the shops.
