Fire Threatens Campbell Laundry Blaze at Fifth and Market
A blaze near the Campbell laundry at Fifth and Market streets caused over 200 dollars in damage just before midnight. Patrolman Joseph Carson spotted the fire after noting the building was quiet minutes earlier. Firefighters used chemical hoses to control the flames, which damaged laundry piles but did not destroy machinery. The cause was not definite but suspected to be spontaneous combustion among greasy overalls. Owner John Campbell was awakened and reported parts of the business could reopen with cleaning. Previous fire earlier this year gutted the laundry and damaged nearby properties.
