Kemmeter, P.J. (Fire scare - 3 JUL 1917)
P.J. Kemmeter while lighting his
gas lights in the store window Tuesday evening had a premature and entirely
unlooked for explosion of fireworks when his torch accidentally ignited one of
the rockets on display and set the whole works going. Prompt assistance of
bystanders prevented a serious blaze. A new plate glass window with some
repainting and minor repairs will but for the loss of fireworks, make all good
again.
