Where Bride Was Fatally Burned: Mrs. Charles M. Gilson, the former Agnes E. Day of Manila, was fatally burned, and her husband was severely burned when they ran through flames which enveloped the rear staircase (shown above) of the Doric apartments, 331 E. Liberty St., when fire broke out in the basement of the apartment early this morning. Dr. Gilson, 24 years old, a dentist at the University dental clinic, and his 20-year-old wife had been tenants of the basement apartment since their marriage on March 19. The young married couple could have left their apartment through on of two windows, but they apparently chose to escape by means of the flaming staircase, according to Fire Chief Benjamin Zahn.

Some days are monotonously quiet for members of the Ann Arbor fire department, but yesterday was not one of them -- as shown in the above photographs showing the firemen in action in one of the busiest days they have had in months. Four fires, causing damage estimated at more than $6,000, kept Chief Benjamin Zahn and his men on the jump for six hours yesterday morning and afternoon. The two worst fires were at the General Parts Co. store 209 N. Main St., and at the home of Mrs. Fannie Howell, 521 N. Fifth Ave. The picture at the left [this photo], taken at the N. Main St. fire shows several firemen battling thick, choking smoke to reach the flames with water. In the foreground are Firemen Ira A. Navarre and Francis J. Ryan, with Fireman Arthur B. Clark behind Navarre. The center photograph shows a group of spectators, who responded to a call for aid, helping haul hose closer to the store. A most interested spectator was Fire Commissioner Herman F. Folske, shown standing beside the ladder in the foreground. Chief Zahn is shown in the thick of the work in the picture at the right, standing half-way through a hole in the roof, during the N. Fifth Ave. fire. He is distinguished by his white raincoat. On the ridge of the roof are (left to right) Firemen Lawrence M. Hague, Emerson Ehnis and Elmer C. Renz. A fifth fireman's helmet is shown pushing through a hole in the roof.
