Buffalo Blaze Destroys Workers' Homes
BUFFALO, N. Y., Nov. 7.—Two firemen were fatally injured, seven injured and more than a score overcome when two fires swept commercial districts in this city late yesterday and early today.
The dead were James Byers and Edward Thompson. It is believed they were overcome by smoke.
The second blaze swept a two-story building and several small stores nearby before it was brought under control.
The earlier fire, in which a dozen buildings were burned, started in a warehouse along the waterfront and rapidly spread to adjoining buildings. Many persons living in tenements in the section narrowly escaped with their lives.
