Fire broke out in the planning room of the Agricultural company last week, but was distinguished by the fire department without much damage having been done. The circumstances are somewhat peculiar. The alarm was sent in at about 7 o'clock. When the department got there the fire was burning two small holes in the floor a few feet apart. It had made no headway as yet. The room had been locked up when the workmen left. Possibly some one might have entered with a pipe and set some shavings afire. But the question is how did the alarm come to be sent in to the fire department so quickly, of a fire in the building in which no one was, that the department could get there before the fire really got started.
