hose through the lobby and along the alleyway under the stands on the east side of the building Such was the progress made by the flames by that lime that they were driven out Shortly afterward the fire broke through the roof and there was nothing they could do to stem the destruction of the build ing Deputy Chief Ray Hobbs moved everyavailable piece of fire fight ing equipment from the head quarters and Cedar Dale balls to the fire together with many of the offduty firemen The citys new aerial truck was brought into service for the first flme and played water on the roof Of the building

Company park ed beside the west wall of the Arenzi suffered some damage when part of the wall fell on it It was rcmovcd and doused by one of the lines of hose So rapid was the spread of the flames
