thrown' cessive
the rear]the
Three large buildings in the busi
ness section of Zurich were totally
destroyed by fire on Monday after
noon and at least a dozen other build
ings were damaged and practically
the whole town was threatened as
the wind carried the burning em
bers from building to building and
many an incipient blaze was nipped
in the bud by an heroic bucket bri
gade that guarded the roofs of most
of the buildings in the village.;.,.
The loss is estimated at between
$20,000 and $22,000 and is the
worst in the history of the village.
'The fire is thought to have been
started by children playing with
matches *-or a cigarette stub
carelessly in an outhouse at
of E. Haist’s bakery and confection
ery./ The flames spread to the hay
mow above and it was soon a seeth
ing furnace, spreading rapidly to the
bakery, and in a short time was out
of control.
The buildings destroyed were,—
The E. Haist bakery and confec-
ionery„ with residence in connection.
Loss about $9,000. This was one of
the finest bakeries in Western On
tario.
Yungblut & Son’s butcher shop
Loss $2,500.
Louis Schilbe & Son’s flour and
feed establishment with residence
above. Loss approximately $7,'500
The building had recently been ren
ovated.
Louis Prang’s brick residence ad
joining the butcher shop on the
north side was damaged to the ex
tent of around $1,000 while the resi
dence of Dr. Cowen, south of the bak
ery, was damaged to the extent of
about $500. Both of these resi
dences were caved only through the
heroic efforts of fire chief Mousseau
and his men, together with many
volunteers.
It was while the residents were
fighting the blaze at the bakery that
the embers caught fire to the large
frame establishment of Louis Scliil-
be, almost a block away from the
other fire. Mr. Schilbe at the time
was working at the pumps. The fire
gained rapid headway and it, too was
soon out of control and created a
most spectacular blaze. It was with
difficulty that buildings and resi
dences close by were saved, one
building in particular being saved
only by a metal roof. The heat was
intense, and drove back the fire
fighters. Practically all of the con
tents of the store and residence were
saved.
Several hundred yards away and
in a different direction the roof of
the Massey-Harris implement shop oi
Oscar Klopp caught fire and was
damaged before brought under con
trol. Other places slightly damaged
were the stables owned by 'John Hey
and S. Zimmerman; the lumber yard
of F. Kalbfleisch; the residence oi
Milford Schilbe; the home of Mrs
Schwalm; and the boot and shoe
store of Chas. Fritz.
Miss Anna Overholt was on duty
at the telephone office at the time
and a call for help was sent tc
neighboring places. Dash-wood and
Hensall responded with their „fire en
gines and did noble work, the chief
obstacle was the lack of water. Most
of the wells in the vicinity were
pumped dry. A call came through
for the Exeter fire department but
•owing to the fact that- Zurich have nc
hydrants the Exeter engine was oi
no use as it is not a pumper but
operates under pressure. The Clinton
chemical engine arrived on the scene
just as the fire was under control.
The hydro was turned off as hydro
and telephone wires were down in
various places. The streets every
where was lined with household ef
fects and the contents of the stores
Several buildings that were threat
ened with fire were also emptied ot
their contents.
Mervyn Stelck, 22-year-old Zurich
disrict farm youth, fell from the lo
cal fire truck, in which he fractured
two bones in his leg, Gordon Howald
aged about 19, of Zurich, another
volunteer, fractured his wrist when
he fell fom a roof. Newell Geiger
aged 28, also of Zurich, toppled
backward from the top of a house

JOHN CAMPBELL, Agent
while attempting to extinguish a roof
fire. He suffered severe back injur
ies and was removed to his home.
.Leroy Thiel, aged 10, suffered
minor body injuries when he fell
from the side of a wagon during the
heat of the afternoon's excitement
The wagon wheels grazed his head
in passing.
The town water wagon, used in
sprinkling the streets, fell prey tc
the flames. Before the fire had
gaind much headway, volunteers
pushed the wagon into the alley be
tween the bakeshop and the meat
market. Soon the flames swept into
the laneway. The heat was so ex
it was impossible to remove
wagon. It was destroyed.
Word of the fire spread rapidly
throughout the district. Scores ot
motorists visited the scene.
Alfred Melick, Reeve of Hay Tp,
in a statement, said, “Let me, on be
half of the village of Zurich, express
my appreciation of the prompt re
sponse and able assistance given the
Zurich firemen by the departments-
from Hensall and Dashwood. The
fire was, without a doubt, one of the
most disastrous Zurich has ever seen
Every effort will be made to allev
iate the inconvenience necessary
caused in the village. The work oi
Chief Mousseau and his fire fighters
is to be highly commended.”
DIED FROM ACCIDENT
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Triebner, Jr.
received the sad news of the death
■of their cousin, Mrs. Bertram Willert
of Caro, Mich., aged 2'2, who was
killed on Thursday of last week
when a horse which she was riding
stumbled and fell throwing her tc
the pavement. She died a half hour
later at the Caro Community Hospi
tal. Mrs. Willert was riding the
horse at a rapid clip and attempted
to make a turn when the horse fell
•to the pavement throwing her off.
When the animal regained its feet
Mrs. Willert’s foot was caught in
the stirrup and she was dragged
along the' pavement for nearly a
block. Finally the foot was releas
ed and Mrs. Willert dropped to the
pavement and was picked up un
conscious. Death was caused from a
fractured skull and other bruises.
Mrs. Willert, known to many friends
as Mildred Taylor, was a teacher in
Tuscola county schools, both before
and after her marriage to Mr. Wil-
lert tw-o years ago. Besides her hus
band she is survived by her mother
Mrs. Pearl Taylor and two sisters.
