Fire of undetermined origin damaged Schultz Furnace Works at 100 Highth Street est, previously Boves Furnace Works. Loss estimated 500 to 800 dollars. Fire began in the pattern room and spread to the main stack room, with a 40 by 40 foot charred area. An explosion, likely a back draft, blew out several windows just before firefighters arrived. The blaze followed a long night of fires and alarms across the city, including a false bank burglar alarm and bells at Black's and the Commercial National Bank.
