Old Church Barely Saved From Fire
Fire swept the Christian Science church at East Ninth and Pearl streets as flames spread quickly. Despite efforts, the building was gutted, leaving only brick walls, with most furniture removed. Sparks from the larger blaze started the fire, and a lack of a systemized department hindered response. The property belonged to Hon. H. R. Kincaid and had housed the Christian Scientists for years. Concurrently a blaze in the Matlock and Hall buildings required garden hoses and a bucket brigade to contain it.
