Fire In The Medical Building

It Caused Considerable Excitement Wednesday Afternoon. A lively fire broke out in the medical building Wednesday afternoon which for a time threatened to do considerable damage. The blaze was extinguised by apparatus in the building before any great harm was done. The fire was caused by the explosion of a five-pound bottle of ether and occurred in Prof Hnber's private histological laboratory which was filled with valuable property, including the results of several years' investigations in the study of the sympathetic nervous system. Fortunately Dr. Huber was not injured by the explosion and by some rapid work succeeded in rescuing all these valuables and removing them to a place of safety. The janitor was overcome by escaping gasses while engaged in putting out the blaze, but recovered when taken into the open air.
