Fire alarms and railroad crossing near Fifteenth Street
Fire crews fought a Moore Building blaze after a gas stove toppling during a quarrel caused a bed to ignite. A Burlington engine barely missed the horse team guiding Ed ward T Kurtz's wagon across the crossing as firefighters hurried to the scene. The crosswalk signals were out, delaying warning as two departments responded and a steam engine moved past on the line.
