Fire Disrupts Sunbeam Hall Basement in Shepherdstown
A small morning fire alarm in Shepherdstown routed by a dense basement smoke filled Sunbeam Hall. Firemen fought the blaze with two water streams, preventing flames and reporting only smoke damage to the hall and goods. Heroic actions by F L Weitzheimer and Norman Crow helped alert and enter the basement. Mrs. Taylor fainted and required medical help. The cause remains undetermined, with rubbish and matches suspected.
