Does Santa Answer Klontz. % If Blase Discovered Ajbout Midnight <1 Wednesday--Firemen Save Factory Building West McHenry was the scene of another big fire Wednesday night when the big Borden ice boos* burned to the ground. The blazv. which started about mid. night, was discovered by tome of the basketball players, who had just returned from the game at Woodstock, The fire alarm was sent in but the big building was enveloped in a mass of flames and, nothing could be done to save it, ¥he cause of the fire b not known as the buildipg was empty and not in, we at the present Hoie. The fire department and other volunteer workers stayed at the scene of the conflagration until moming, fighting the fire and keeping it from spreading to the factory building which was very close to the ice house. The one thing which made it possible to save the factory was the fact that the wind came from the south and blew, the flames across the millpond away from the nearby building. As the wind increased during the early morning hours it became a wild night with the fire burning fiercely and it was fortunate, indeed, for the factory and other nearby buildings that the flames and heat were blown across., the water of the mill pond where no damage could be done. \ 1 Several pieces of farm machinery belonging to Louis AJthoff wefe stored in the factory bupuing, but all escaped damage-from the fire with the exception of one piece of machinery which stood on the platform outside the store house and which was badly scorched. The Borden property changed hands not lon(^_pgo and is now owned by a syndicate of local men under the name of the Borden Trust. The Mattehw- Tonyan company recently purchased the factory building. The ice house is a total loss and partially covered by insurance. The Bowlus Timber company had a large quantity of lumber stored in the burned building which was also partially covered by insurance. Slight damage was done to the factory building1 which will be covered by policies held by the Matthews-Tonyan company. At The Plain dealer goes to press today there is considerable fire at the ruins and the'department is watching closely to see that it does not spread.
