Eight Fire Engines Hurry to Douse Blaze on Mt. Auburn

A smoldering cigarette on a couch in the 60 Mt. Auburn St. rat-house brought eight pieces of fire apparatus screaming through Saturday night 10 o'clock revelry, only to find that the janitor, Daniel Sheehan, had already extinguished the flicker.

The blaze in the blue-blood hot-house caused more excitement at the Hasty Pudding dance and across the street in the Lampoon, where editors and graduate editors were revelling, than it did among the local smoke-eaters.

Passers-by told Sheehan that they saw smoke coming out of an upstairs window in the house, and while he ran upstairs to investigate they turned in the alarm at the corner box.
